The code uses low-level facilities from Modula-2 and C. We would like to port it to clean Ada[..]" I noticed that in the book "Safety-critical computer systems" written by Neil Storey and published in 1996 by Addison-Wesley with ISBN 020 1427 877 that were more compilers available for embedded targets, at least according to Neil Storey or the author(s) of a study looking at Pascal; C; Ada 83; Modula 2; assemblies; and about three other languages he referred to, Modula-2 would be preferrable to use than Ada. What are your views on this? Thanks.
