Hello again Uwe! It's fun running into someone I know on a language geek forum :) I'm helping one of our bachelor's students implement an LQR controller on our carousel in Freiburg. It's an ugly hack, but I'm calling an octave script to recompute the feedback gains online. Octave wraps slicot, so if the licenses are compatible, perhaps wrapping slicot is the way to go for some functions, if the licenses are compatible.
Personally, I have a burning desire for a better language we can actually do control in (rust?). I doubt Julia qualifies due to the garbage collection, but does anyone know if Julia has some sort of way to JIT Julia expressions to code that does ~not have any garbage collection? If so, is there a way to export them as object files and link against them from C? Then you'd still have to write glue code in a systems language, but at least the implementation of the controller wouldn't have to cross a language boundary...
