Re: Is Linux right for Embedded?

Ada also excels here since many "human" errors that quickly start to be a
drain on productivity are found at compile time. Being both a C++ and Ada
programmer, I find that Ada is exceptionally well suited to getting things
done quickly the first time and on time. I even often prototype in Ada
before writing C++ (since C++ is often "required"...).
