I don't believe that writing an OS will push Ada. Ok, an OS is a fascinating
piece of software, but on the other hand it is nothing more than a necessary
evil. An OS in itself has no value, it is just there to serve applications.
I believe a good way to attract attention for Ada is to write a popular
application or service in Ada. For example there are some projects on the
way to put together a comprehensive game package infrastructure. Games can
be much more complex and sophisiticated than an OS. And Ada is an excellent
choice for that.
