The C standard doesn't specify any threading model at all.  As a
result, many C programmers rely on unspecified and undocumented
compiler behavior, and their program works correctly only with some
specific versions of one compiler.  In addition, large parts of the C
run-time library are complicated to implement efficiently in a
multi-threading environment, at least on some architectures.

With Ada, you don't have to use the tasking features of the language.
I think quite a few projects use their own tasking implementation.  Of
course, and certainly for non-embedded applications, there is hardly a
need to do this nowadays.
