Those who use Ada for realtime software, might be interested
in this article. It is an interview with Greg Bollella, senior
programmer at IBM for comming up with Real-time Specification
for Java (RTSJ)
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/developer/features/feat-bollella2.html
some quotes:
"Bollella: In traditional Java, the scheduling and
synchronization semantics are not precise enough for real-time
programming. Real-time programmers need to know when tasks will
begin execution and when those tasks will complete execution.
The RTSJ tightens the semantics of scheduling, synchronization,
and related constructs."
It goes on to talk about the challenges to use Java for realtime
and the changes needed to made Java more suitable for realtime.
Why are they going through all this trouble to make Java work
better for realtime when there is allready better languages for
that?
