In the April 1998 issue of Circuit Cellar Ink, an article "Software Development for RTOSs" has a section on Real Time Programming Languages that remarks "Unless you code for the government or systems that need to be flight qualified, you probably won't see Ada. Ada is good for implementing large systems where many developers are working in different organizations, but it's sometimes difficult to use for expressing real-time issues." Are those true statements? If not, perhaps someone could send a letter to the editor correcting them.
