I guess it could. ADA is systems programming language.Everyone here knows how it would benefit. However some parts of the OS still are better expressed in C. Or I am wrong. I used to work on hardware accelerated network packet processing.I needed to make data structures in a way that fit in cache L1 of a processor. This was a must. Also special data handling for direct hardware only communication between multiple network interfaces. There was no place for error checking like variable range or table boundary. I know that it can be disabled in ADA. I am curious myself if I could prepare and provoke ADA to keep data structures in L1 cache.
