And I truly hope you do that. Really. Just remember that others have tried to sell the "Ada-to-C-to-Machine-Code" answer in the past and you don't see a whole lot of those little controller boards getting programmed in Ada. People use the development kit that came with the board for the most part and don't want to add extrra layers of stuff on top of it. Especially if it involves any work on their part to do so. They want to take it out of the box and start programming it. Give them that kind of answer and perhaps you'll sell a lot of them.
