As I am learning Ada after some procrastination, I thought I could
implement a simple PLC like control framework that could run on a RT
Linux context, allowing very simple to quite complex control
applications.

The user would benefit the overall structure and components from the
framework and program his application logic in some Ada procedures.
Even if only knowing IEC 61131-3 languages, a PLC programmer could
learn by doing since Ada basics are quite easy to learn.
One can compare with Structured Text, one of the languages defined in
IEC 61131-3.

Although Ada looks to me appealing for control application
development, I think no one will give a try to this framework if it is
not available to anybody and GPLed on one hand and performing well on
the other.

What do you think about my light sabre ? ;-)
