I really like this thread! My point of view is more artistic(?), since i design UX/GUI/BI - part time,= for printing/prepress industry. I liked to play with the idea, that if GNU (Linux, BSD) is a world built in= C, then a world built in Ada is also possible - theoretically. (Tron is built in/on C, .... ;) My favorite bottlenecks are: time, programmers, and working together - with= out pissing off each other, to do many small forks, and not getting anywher= e ;) (I like BSD - but i cant find the drivers i need. I like linux - but i am h= aving trouble installing pe.: gnatcoll 2015. And i think the problem is "ma= npower".) Finally: i think, inventing the wheel was easy (haha), but it had dependenc= ies: why build a wheel? -> we have products to carry (apples). to have prod= ucts, we need agriculture...etc..=20 Inventions are coming, when a problem is in focus. Thank you for all your writings: i know now, an Ada-OS is possible.=20 (if it can drive a plane, it could drive my raspberry too. the question is,= what qualifies as an OS? and how we are going to search for this answer?)
