An interesting post linked on OS news (http://www.osnews.com/):
JLOUIS Ramblings - Getting 2.5 Megalines of code to behave (http://jlouisramblings.blogspot.nl/2012/08/getting-25-megalines-of-code-to-behave.html)
I cannot help but speculate on how the software on the Curiosity rover has been constructed. We know that most of the code is written in C and that it comprises 2.5 Megalines of code, roughly[1]. One may wonder why it is possible to write such a complex system and have it work. This is the Erlang programmers view.
