Talking about designing in a language and implementing in another, I am =
 =

seeking for any pointers about designing in SML and implementing in Ada.=
  =

Not that I have any trouble with this (I know a bit what can be mapped a=

what cannot easily be), just that I feel this would be profitable to rea=
d  =

about other's experiences with this.

By the way, I do too believe if one want to implement in C or assembly, =
 =

that's indeed profitable to first design in Ada (if really Ada is not an=
  =

option at implementation stage for some weird reasons). But then the  =

design have to be checked, so I guess it is compiled in some way, so why=
  =

not use the compiled product instead? Due to a not available platform?  =

What platform then? Or else there may be other reasons, then could you  =

tell more about these reasons?
