> The Tower Language is an eDSL for composing Ivory programs into real-time systems. Tower programs specify communication channels, tasks, and signal handlers, and generate Ivory code which implements scheduling and communication for real-time operating systems.

Interesting! This seems to be in very early development. I do not fully understamd the simple example, but somehow the basic idea and delarative nature feels promising to me. I do not have a good enough understanding of this. I fear that a single central declaration of all the tasks and communication channels might get unwieldy for a system with realistic complexity.
