yeah...

military jets. space vehicule and nuclear plants. o.O

These are 'big complicated long evolved piece of ENGINEERING'

big data, apps and startups are only buzz words in comparison... big data is my favorite. lol, no offense.

One you don't need a pilot's license to operate: 

ghdl, an open source compiler and simulator for the VHDL hardware design 
language.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghdl-updates/

Actively developed, and rapidly turning into one of the better VHDL 
simulators out there.

Amazing to realise it's pretty much a solo effort by Tristan, and he 
maintains that Ada is a huge contributor to his productivity.

OpenHub estimates about 165 man-years of effort on the project (though 
about 40% of that is in a 3rd party open source testsuite).
