Re: TRON for AdaOS

The RTLinux Manifesto seems to suggest performance is pretty good. I 
know of it being used in real world hard realtime applications, so it 
can't be all that bad. It may not be the best or only answer so Tron may 
have something going for it too.

Of course the real problem is that there is no truly active and 
progressing effort to build a usable Ada OS, so it all gets kind of 
academic as to whether or not RTLinux or Tron or anything else can help 
out in some regard.
