Oh, hey Berké,

The GHGSat constellation's payload software is still mostly OCaml, although a limited amount of newer from scratch components are indeed in Rust. It's been working well and on 16 satellites now - but as you said the main challenge has been training developers to Ocaml and I doubt they would write new code in it now.

Why do I never hear about these kinds of opportunities? I have done some Ocaml, quite a bit of embedded systems, and these days I have to waste the years doing web development.

Where do I have to call to be considered for doing OCaml embedded systems?

If it ain't broke why fix it?
