- To whom it may concern:
-
- For the last couple of weeks I have been involved in a major survey on
- the use of object oriented techniques in the area of telecommunications
- (mainly in the German speaking region).
- I can say "everybody" is using OO in some areas (mainly network
- management, switch provisioning, customer care), BUT there are (almost)
- no examples in the area of (small) embedded systems, main reasons for
- that being:
-
- - "OO systems are too slow"
- - "OO systems eat up too much memory"
-
- I believe, that this is not necessarily true but heavily related to
- experience. Now I=B4m asking you:
-
- How far "down" does the application of OO really go?
- How far will it go in the future?
- Who develops commercial(!) embedded real-time systems
- using OO methods and languages?
- Will OO ever be of major importance in that area?
-
- If you have an opinion concerning these questions please share it with
- me! Even those who think they=B4ll "never use that OO-stuff".
