Ask HN: Clojure vs Elixir for robotics?

9 points·z3phyr··3 comments

I am writing a report called 'Robot cognition of the Future'

My concepts act around a probabilistic and declarative DSL for robot programming in a highly concurrent and distributed language (which allows easy metaprogramming and a hygenic macro system).

What kind of above language should I use to write the proof of concept (and may be production)?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_(programming_language)

It has built-in language support for explicit concurrency, offering tasks, synchronous message passing, protected objects, and non-determinism

It's also designed specifically for embedded and realtime applications.

Have you considered any of the probabilistic extensions to Prolog? (i.e. PITA for XSB?)

What kind of hardware are you targeting in the proof?
