Let me issue a challenge here.  Can anyone tell me of a hard real-time
system which is operational now that was written in Ada?  Or even a beta
version that is scheduled for delivery and operation before the year is
out?  I'll bet no one can.

And I hope I lose that bet.  I'd dearly love to bring the program manager
and lead engineers here to Jet Propulsion Lab, and the vendors of the
compiler and other tools they used, for a half-day or full-day symposium on
Ada and Real-Time.
