The operating system that most people would think about copying first
is Unix -- and that seems like a non-starter from its anti-Ada interfaces
(null-terminated strings and the like). Yes it is possible to interact,
but it is not in the "spirit" of Ada.
What was the last totally new operating system to achieve prominence ?
I suppose it was MS-DOS or MacOS. VMS, Unix, VM etc. all seem older.
