LaurieWired recently did a video about safe programming.

LaurieWired explains the strict JSF C++ coding standards used for the F-35 fighter jet to ensure safety-critical software reliability.
A single unhandled exception destroyed a $500 million rocket in seconds. The F-35 wasn't going to make the same mistake. By carefully slicing C++, engineers created one of the strictest coding standards ever written. This...is Programming Like a Fighter Pilot. In this video, we dive into the history of software in aircraft, the (thousands!) of programming languages the Pentagon had to deal with, and perhaps the wildest of all, the JSF (F-35) C++ standard. --- Timestamps: History of Software in Flight The Pentagon and C++ Flying (Simulated) F-35s No Exceptions?
