Some of the supported features are:

  • A familiar POSIX-compatible interface.
  • True simultaneous preemptive multitasking.
  • Advanced cryptography and a security-centered architecture.
  • Mandatory Access Control (MAC).
  • Highly configurable, hard real-time scheduling.
  • Support for several architectures and boards.

Hello Ada enthusiasts!

I'm excited to announce the November Ada Monthly Meetup, scheduled for the 4th of November at 14:00 UTC time (15:00 CET). We will be gathering online once again, continuing our tradition of monthly virtual meetups. This time, we're meeting on Jitsi.

As always, our meetups are a great opportunity to connect with fellow Ada enthusiasts, share ideas, and learn from each other. If you have any topics or talks you'd like to propose, feel free to do so! We're open to discussions on a wide range of Ada-related subjects.

I'm also thrilled to share that Streaksu, the talented creator of the Ironclad kernel, has generously volunteered to give an introductory talk and demonstration of the OS. It's a fantastic chance to dive into the intricacies of this innovative creation.

Let's come together and make this meetup even more engaging and insightful. Looking forward to seeing you all there! ๐Ÿš€
