Why? Ada libraries from 2002 without outside dependencies work perfectly fine. I'm using that old libraries all the time. Ada has been designed specifically for that, it's been used in the aviation industry that runs the same code for 20+ years minimum.
That you think otherwise only shows that you've never seriously used Ada in a larger project.
- adrianN 9y agoThe last version of DOS also works really well for the things it was designed for. You still wouldn't start new projects targeting DOS if you could help it, even if it would satisfy your current requirements.
- nickpsecurity 9y agoWell, we're talking a safe language. So, if want an archaic red herring, you'd be better bringing up Burroughs written in an Ada predecessor that was immune to most forms of code injection or crashes in 1961. If you want small and Ada, then Martes RTOS is one written in Ada that's still around. For small and secure, the Muen separation kernel can handle it.
- mondoshawan 9y agoActually, I would, if my needs were simple enough. Rarely is it necessary to have much more in embedded fields. Have a look at MDOS, a modern reimplementation of DOS used in many modern embedded cases. Edit: which is apparently now called adelian.
- maxxxxx 9y agoThe keyword is "without outside dependencies " . Most of us have to integrate many systems and there outdated libraries are a big problem.
