Re: No networking in Florist?

There are two downloadable projects that are POSIX compliant, which 
means they might have what your looking for. The MaRTE Ada Real-Time 
OS has a POSIX package. And there's RTEMS. So take a look at these 
project and you might find what your looking for in a package or two. 

Now to answer your initial question, of why?

Ada and C was never design for POSIX or any other OS API, except for 
basic IO. Which means that the user or usergroups had to design the APIs 
for C and Ada.

Well in the case of Ada, most users are creating programs that do not use 
POSIX. And only a limited number of users are creating POSIX API apps 
which means that Florist will not contain them until that changes. And 
that is unlikely to happen until Microsoft goes POSIX only or stop creating 
a Windows OS.
