Yes, the entire flight control system could just be an Electron app running open source javascript. Or typescript if you're a (type) safety nut.

# npm install boeing-aileron boeing-throttle boeing-flight-controls

Trust me, somebody somewhere have said that unironically...

   let airbus.controls=Object.assign({},boeing.controls};
   airbus.controls.yoke=undefined;
   airbus.controls.headings=joystick;
   airbus.controls.safety=basic_law;
Because F0RTRAN is so much better and safer than Javascript. Riiight.
