Hi Brian
Thanks for your feedback
Yes, thankfully with the help of people on the list I can work in both directions with C and Ada now and as such could write code in Ada and export it as C for use with other languages like Lua.
On another note I ran sloccount on glibc and it's over 900K lines of code. Newlib is about half that but is still mind crushingly huge. C is smaller then Ada. It must be even harder to create a runtime for it. I am hopelessly out of my league. Reworking GNAT a little bit is one thing, writing runtimes looks like a totally different story :(
