Synchronous languages have recently emerged as a very elegant, safe, and efficient solution for programming embedded systems. The success with which they have been implemented in safety-critical industries is impressive (eg Airbus planes, nuclear plants etc). Scientists at INRIA Rhône-Alpes are currently performing research in the field of automatic distribution of synchronous programs.
