What happened to the Ada Apse?

[peter]

I see that the last message on this topic in this group was from a 1994
survey where a Swiss University was going to produce an Apse for Ada.

Has anything happened anywhere about this since?

As an embedded system, you'd have thought that Ada was pretty easy
language to write an Apse in. Since all the Unix commands are available
in C, it should also be fairly easy for somebody to translate them, or
at least those that might be useful, to run in the Apse.

Is there a good reason (Linux?) why nobody has produced an Apse - if,
that is, they haven't?

There was a recent article discussing the huge unreliability of msdros
or linux based machines and how commercial use of these was showing
that something more reliable was really needed. With Ada now available
open-source, it would seem the ideal time for somebody to produce a
simple Apse environment to be ported to the popular processes. There's
an opportunity to design a nice high-level rational and secure OS from
scratch. I'd have thought that people would be leaping at the
opportunity!

I can see that writing and using a c -> Ada translator to get Unix
stuff to run would be a very quick and dirty hack, but it would provide
a chance to bootstrap a pukka Apse into place over time - and not that
much time.
