Re: understanding runtime support

Thanks mjs, Thanks Shark8

At least I don't feel alone or that I am being unreasonable. 

I could use a RTOS if it was "THE OS". I could follow along with a variety of solutions, the thing is at this point I want to FOLLOW.

I repair spectrometers for a living. I can program but not like most of the people here who are very talented programmers. I don't want to be a pioneer.

It's worrisome that there isn't standard ways of using Ada in the Embedded space.

To touch on what Ludovic mentioned earlier.. I am using the term embedded as software controlling a purpose built device.

Fighter pilot's aren't falling out of the sky when Windows 95 crashes and I am assuming air traffic controllers are using purpose built Ada programs that don't also allow them to watch p*rn at the same time.

Just an opinion... but it seems like a better description for Ada would be an application language for embedded designs. This would imply that it was not alone on the device.
