After talking to our QA-department, it turned out that FizzBuzz does does not comply with IEC 61131.
Therefore, I am requesting a rewrite of FizzBuzz in the C-language.
Since our engineers want to use battle-proven systems, it is important that K&R-C from the year 1978 gets used.
Furthermore, all code needs to be copy-pasted into a documentation-system that complies with ISO 13485.

Please let us schedule a three-days-brainstorming-session to discuss the timeline!
If the executive board gives a green light, then we shall be able to start prototyping in 2026.
We expect that the first increment shall be delivered towards the year 2029.

I don't see the connection between the C programming language and IEC 61131.

I also don't see how this FizzBuzz system qualifies as a medical product.

Can you elaborate?

Since you are aiming for reliability, I suggest to use the computers that flew the Saturn V rocket to the moon, as I assume these are very carefully designed and tested.

I misread this as "Request for rewrite with K-Ci and Jojo". I assume they have been busy since their 1998 hit "All My Life", but we can ask if the songwriting duo is willing to contribute to our beloved repository.
