Well, the chance that the operating system is itself written in C,
and uses C for it's base API, is pretty high.  This means that it is
usually easiest to first work out how to do something in C, and then
transform that into Ada.  When AdaOS achieves world domination,
this will be different of course :)

All the best,

Duncan.
