>From what I can gather from the http://www.rtems.army.mil the last
version of RTEMS written in Ada was V 3.2.1. I really don't care if it's
being updated or maintained since I'm only planning to use it as a
reference. If anyone has a copy of this release or a later one, please
send it to macrod@earthlink.net - it would help me out considerably.

I'm fairly new to the Ada language and have spent a lot of time reading
how Ada is superior to C/C++ in design and safety. I'm currious if
someone can explain why there are so many RTOS based on C/C++ and "none"
(I mean easily and freely available) based on Ada. With Ada's real-time
annex and other language features, one would think an Ada-based
kernel/run-time would be superior to others.
