"There will be" is an utterance that suits the biggies.

For weighing Ada,

1) Try getting a working C environment for some low-end embedded
platform. Such as a teaching platform.

2) Try getting a working Ada environment for some low-end embedded
platform. Such as a teaching platform.

2a) Ada, not sequential Ada with partial support for exceptions

2b) Lego is not low-end:
By "low-end", I do not mean what is considered low by the standards
of well payed corporate engineers. I mean low by the standards that
create popularity.

2c) Compare the licenses.

2d) What's the debugger like?
