Amen. and Amen! We've heard talk around here about rewriting Linux (or some Unix variant) in Ada and I've always thought that at best, such an endeavor would amount to polishing a turd. (Why rewrite something thats already been done, to begin with, but if you insist, why Unix?) If someone wants to rewrite some OS in Ada, then VMS would make an excellent candidate!
