What kept them from flying the thing and doing ramp tests 6 or 9 months ago?
Or is it another aspect of the "no need to fly the real thing before" mentality?
"No need for sim time, just a tablet", "no need to test fly, just run the cab"...
Makes you wonder..
Java? Java does a ton of work and hides a lot of details behind a pile of software that won't fit on an FCC and may or may not be busy doing something that you don't want to do when something important needs to be done. Welcome garbage collect.
Want to learn programming - C or assembler or hand code machine language. Java is to programming what MS Flight Simulator is to an F-15 Eagle.
