For embedded software, Aonix are promoting a new, unproven, proprietary development and run-time environment derived from Java, a notoriously unsafe language, while at the same time admitting that Ada has been just fine for these environments for 23 years. Don't waste your time reading this PR crap. Instead, go re-read the papers from Praxis and AdaCore; these papers will be worth your while because they will improve your skills as a programmer. If I were Praxis or AdaCore, I'd be sure to send articles praising my Ada-based products to embedded.com. -- Ludovic Brenta.
