That's the point. I receive tons of posts from Instructables, and several o=
ther DIY sites with applications for Arduino, Boarduino, and other AVR mode=
ls every day, and almost all that I look inside could be improved if develo=
pers could use Ada instead of C from scratch.

I got to build AVR-Ada recently for an 8-bit AVR, but sadly discovered that=
 the tasking feature was not enabled yet. Anyway, it looks that we can prog=
ram AVR in Ada also using RTEMS (which I began to try), but AVR-Ada looks e=
asier to coding, so I'd prefer to use AVR-Ada (at least until I don't get t=
o build with RTEMS)

That's it.
