-- A prime example is Unix; the current POSIX effort aims to
-- standardize 1960's technology, thus resulting in a "lowest
-- common denominator" which locks users into obsolescence.
--
-- Ada's problem with Unix is that Unix, being 1960's technology,
-- does not properly support lightweight processes.
What an odd thought ... a 1960s operating system underneath a 1970s
programming language used on 1980s contracts for systems to be
fielded in the 1990s and beyond! Think about it ...
