This is kind of the mixed feeling I have about this blog post. There is a recognition that we need universal tools that are designed with honest intentions to be effective in general problem domains. But determining the boundaries of those domains is ultimately a political exercise and not a technical one.

It becomes presumptive to assume that Lisp is the be all, end all of car networking woes. Even if you accept that a tool to manage and organize computational tasks using a more functional paradigm would be helpful, that doesn't mean that a somewhat archaic, syntactically maligned language is the answer.

ROS tackles this somewhat yeah? But it's still very much a research project, despite its use in some parts of industry. The most significant development for computation in vehicles in recent times is still the automotive Linux efforts, so we are not really even in the ballpark to discuss specific languages.
