It's good we on HN, unlike military pilots, have no bias and can focus on things that matter in warplane mission performance.

Can't wait to find the forum of fighter pilots bitching about Rust vs. C.

Clearly they would choose raw x86_64 assembly for its superior performance profile.

x86-64 is very non-deterministic - way too many issues can impact individual thread performance. Better go with a barrel processor design.

Have you heard of Spectre?! The whole architecture is crap and should be scrapped in favor of Acorn RISC.

Yeah no working military pilot is going to publically disrespect their aircraft, lest their career take a sudden turn toward desk duty.

I did get a sense of

"These sandwiches are acceptable."

"Permission to speak freely?"

"Permission denied"

"These sandwiches are acceptable."

Nobody giving an interview to the media is going to disparage their own company if they want to continue working.

It's just common sense.

it's not common sense, it's fear. That's very different.

Like many fields, they will bitch non-stop to fellow pilots, but to 'external' groups will always say how much they love it.

It's natural.

They didn't get to fly the most prestigious planes for lacking soft skills.

I'd like to see anonymous reports.

Agreed! However, not all of the pilots in the article were actively flying, so there's that.
