You think NT, Unix/Linux all suck!  What do you use?  Do you program on the
bare boards or what?  <g>

Why are AdaOS doing an NT replacement?  Is it going to be a complete clone
only safer cos' it's Ada?  I don't think if you program in Ada and not C, it
immediately makes the OS better or safer.  You can still f**k things up in
Ada and build an unsafe system.  It's just more difficult to do, but you
shouldn't assume that it's a passport to fault free software.

I'm using Ada because it has a better module system, it has a good type
checking system, support for low-level programming and it's standardised.  I
could still make a crap operating system in Ada.

No post is worthless.  You're sharing your thoughts with the world at large
and getting your point across.
