Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] possibly interesting

I can imagine some applications where a bunch of parallel processors would
come in handy, especially for motion control. But I can also imagine how
debugging the little rascals could be a nightmare. I wonder what kind of
development tools are available for it and why they created a new
programming language for it. Inadequate tools and too many learning curves
can be an enthusiasm killer.
