Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. From what I read, a well-written
Ada program can be every bit as fast as C, and since you can plug
assembler right into Ada, it doesn't have any disadvantages in that
respect.
    What confounds me is how to provide system level calls for any
C applications. Say I write my awesome Ada microkerenel, obviously
I need to provide a C api if I want to use the GNU tools.
    Well, I suppose its doable. Might be a big project though. I suppose
I'll start by figuring out how to link in the OSKit code to an Ada program.
I'll have an Ada kerenel, it just might not do much.

Cheers.
- Doug
