How many languages (other than Ada) actually provide support for
concurrency (as opposed to getting it from the OS)? Does this mean
that there was no such thing as real time software until Ada was
available? An awful lot of real-time software has been written in
LANGUAGES to provide no support for concurrency (like assembly).
There seems to be something a bit off about this line of reasoning.
