- I believe Verdix's run time is also written in Ada, along with their new optimizer.
- When I last messed with it a long time ago, it looked alot like C in Ada syntax.

- I can see some arguments for writing the code generator in C for easier ports,
- but I cant help but wonder if we'ld see fewer "internal assertion errors" if
- they'ld used Ada. Actually, as long as it worked, I wouldnt really care.
