- I'm an enterprise user and I find Windows 11 a complete disaster. They've managed to make something as trivial as right-clicking a slow operation.
I used to be a pretty happy Windows camper (I even got through Me without much complaint), but I'm so glad I moved to Linux and KDE for my private desktops before 11 hit.

- Where I work we do (for high assurance software) systems specifications, systems design, software specifications and software design and ultimately source code.
That said, there is a bit of redundancy between software design and source code. We tend to rather get rid of the development of the latter than the former though, i.e. by having the source code be generated by some modelling tool.
- It matters less than you think. The entire point of e.g. DO-178C is to achieve high assurance that the code performs it's intended function. Basically, you need to be able to trace your object code to system level requirements. You need to achieve 100% MC/DC coverage from requirements based testing. If there's something you don't cover you either remove the code, or add derived requirements (which need to be assessed by the systems safety process). Language choice doesn't remove any of the objectives you need to achieve.
Also, keep in mind that the desire to have a deterministic system puts a lot of constraint on what kind of behavior you can program anyway.

- I share this sentiment as well, but while living in a relatively small city with only around 150k people in northern Europe. I moved out to the "suburbs" after having my first kid and find enormous quality of life in being able to have a car and a house. The city center is getting increasingly more "hostile" to car traffic but there's nothing to be had there anyway. A side from restaurants and coffee shops you can get anything you need from the shopping areas on the city outskirts. In a sense I feel this is the best of both worlds: cities for city people, suburbs for suburbians.
