And, it was said in in the 1980's, when the first Ada compilers were sold for the 1750.
That is why these Ada compilers were not considered mature when they first came out.
That is why people like myself had to do extensive work to use those first compilers
in the early Ada/1750 flight control systems.

Now, let's talk about the present-day, and the Ariane 5. Which is a more mature
compiler, a PL/I compiler for the 1750 which would have had its first use on
the Ariane 5, or an Ada compiler which has probably been used on several real-time
projects previously? You previous comment was that "PL/I is more mature than Ada,"
but with respect to the 1750, the Ada compilers would be the more mature 
implementations, right?

How's that list of PL/I-based real-time airborne control systems coming along, BTW? :)

When do we get to find out your background in real-time systems?
