You are right. I just plain don't care. Maybe I am misinformed. Maybe you are misunderstanding my requirements. Either way, it doesn't matter.

You seem to be missing the point - there is an entire ecosystem of things built in Rust, a community of developers using it in related fields to where I am working, and a vast store of experience and knowledge to draw upon.

Outside of aviation or defense, does Ada have that? No, it does not.

That is why no one uses it.

PS: This subthread started when someone made an assumption that Rust activists would pounce on this for not being written in Rust. I chimed in to say that, as a "rust activist" seL4 is actually pretty cool and that's fine. Then you butted in preach the Ada gospel. Not a good look.

Both of these statements are false as well.

(I only made this response because you keep spreading misinformation about a language you know nothing about, self-admittedly, and demonstrably. Not a good look. Neither is your response to you being corrected. If you do not care, at least stop spreading bullshit so confidently about a language you do not know at all.)


Just want to say Thank You. May be thank you "again" because I remember I said this previously as well.

Every time I mention Ada on HN it is always the Rust people that claims it is irrelevant, especially when it is them who started only Rust can do X.

The unwritten rule of HN: You do not criticise The Rusted Holy Grail or the Riscy Silver Bullet.
