I for example a firm in C++, C, Java, Modula 2, Pascal and Ada and would use Ada if I ever wanted to write an OS. You can find the reason for my preference in my other posting. > Besides, many operating systems have already been written in C++. The question was for quality not quantity. It might well be that there is the perfect language out there for OS development only nobody ever tried it out yet. Besides, where is the fun in doing what everybody else does?
