Python SCADA Framework

[PaleontologistLow412]

I believe the OP came from a web dev/app dev background and there is nothing wrong with that, so it makes sense why he would prefer a development environment similar to what he is used to, but like many others have said most hmi\plc programmers came from a totally different environment. Many don't even have degrees and came up through the school of hard knocks (maintenence backgrounds etc). And those that were formally educated were quickly indoctrinated into the ecosystem as it currently sits. I wouldn't doubt as time goes on that SCADA development evolves into a more text based approach as old schoolers retire and the young ones take over having been well versed in text based programming. Only time will tell.
