Intel attemped to build an Ada-based machine (using Ada to write the operating
system) but found that it was pretty much a wash. The restricted lexical
elements could not support general languages which used characters not allowed
in Ada (APL comes to mind - ain't no Thumbnail in Ada). I do not have any
references to the Intel machine, but perhaps someone on the net does.
