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.
