I was playing with an assembler written in Ada a while
ago. I also played with a small kernel.
After trying many awkward Ada ways, I came to the
conclusion that sometimes the "C" (masking, shifting
etc) way was a lot cleaner to look at, read and maintain
than hammering it into an "Ada way" of doing it.
So maybe, at the bit-twiddling level, C-in-Ada might
not be a bad way to go.
