Well, there will be no place left for actual programming. There are lots 
of such boards on the net running various interpreters, e.g. Lua.

People keep on breaking out in order to save place and CPU cycles by 
programing in C. Ada without tasking and other useful features would be 
in the same league as C in terms of memory use and performance.
