Because you know WebObjects, and don't like it, or because you only
know AWS?

I reason that you have not looked at the material under the links I
sent. While Ada tasks and protected objects provide convenient
semantics, their GNAT implementation with task = os level thread does
not yield desired performance under certain applications. In this
situation for C there are libraries of cooperative threads with
resource aware scheduling, for Ada there isn't anything comparable.
More info in other posts.

Can it scale to > 100K socket connections?
