I would be interested in learning about any OS development done
in ADA.  It has long seemed to me that ADA would be the ideal
language to do OS development in since it does understand
the full range of data types required and has the extensability
necessary for real programming at this level.  A truly modular
operating system might be developable this way.

Would anyone care to post thoughts and/or experiences in the matter?
