Linus Torvalds: Speaks on the Rust vs C Linux Divide
(www.youtube.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As always, Ada gets no respect.
Nor does Forth (which used to be a common choice for "first thing to bootstrap on this new chip architecture we have no real OS for yet"). Alas, they're just not popular languages these days.
Have you actually ever used Ada? It's like programming with handcuffs on.
Start the linuxa or alinux project and off you trot. Find a better name than I did here and you'll be fine.

Ladux? Linda? +Linux, pronounced "Add a Linux" -> Ada Linux? LinLace?

I prefer Trabant.

Anixa for the win
I blame Ian Dury.
