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.
