Re: AuroraUX Combines SunOS with Ada

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

Nice idea, for those who wanted the Minux or the dead GNU HURD kernel to 
be converted to Ada. 

But to show the true power of what an Ada OS can do, the entire project from 
the ground up must be created in 100% Ada. Not just using Ada to rebuild an 
existing OS or to build a environmental shell like Windows on top of DOS 
was. 

One example of this power is to use the Ada task scheduler as the OS job 
scheduler, which would make each program running in this OS environment 
an Ada task instead of a single excutional routine.  Now, as for single 
excutional routines, they could still be used for OS boot up, installation and 
system maintenance where tasking is not allowed. The Ada task scheduler 
should also be updated to handle multiple cpus cores used in todays world.

The down side of using the Ada Task scheduler as the core job scheduler is 
that it could kill the idea of using mix languages. But is that a bad thing in 
the first Ada OS!  Because the problem in initially allowing mix languages is 
that others will use mix languages instead of Ada which will kill the Ada OS 
before it has time to prove itself.
