Randy said it was impossible to use /portably/. Although portability is
one of the primary goals of Ada, sometimes you have to sacrifice it for
some other goals - like having the job done, efficiency concerns, etc.

ATC is here because a number of guys from the real-time community called
for it. And it's certainly usable for bare-metal embedded targets. I
would say that if you are programming a bare-metal embedded target,
portability to Windows is not your first concern ;-)
