It's always fun to read peoples drive-by opinions about the only decent language IMO. Ada is highly compatible with C code. For dynamic allocations with "ownership" there is the concept of memory pools which CAN use a GC if thats how you choose to implement the pool allocator.

Haha, I'm sorry if it seemed like I ever knew what I was talking about. I thought asking questions would make it clear that I don't.

Remain interested in the potential advantages of Ada compared to Rust for Linux kernel development, if you would care to point me in the right direction.
