The world of embedded systems is evolving rapidly, and with it, the languages we use to build safe, secure, and reliable code. In Elektor Engineering Insights #54, we welcome Quentin Ochem, Chief Product and Revenue Officer at AdaCore, for a deep dive into the critical role of memory-safe programming languages in safety- and security-critical development.

Join us live on July 30 16:00 CEST as we explore how languages like Ada, SPARK, and Rust are transforming embedded systems by replacing legacy C/C++ in high-assurance environments. Quentin will walk us through key trade-offs, use cases, and the growing importance of formal methods and static analysis for developers working on systems where reliability isn't optional.

This technical session is tailored for embedded developers, security engineers, and programming language specialists. Quentin will also share updates on AdaCore’s collaborations with leading companies like CodeSecure, and Nvidia, and provide insight into the evolving Rust language specification.
