I guess it could. ADA is systems programming language.Everyone here knows h=
ow it would benefit. However some parts of the OS still are better expresse=
d in C. Or I am wrong. I used to work on hardware accelerated network packe=
t 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 har=
dware 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 prov=
oke ADA to keep data structures in L1 cache.
