I have learned that Ada tasking is defined at a relatively
high level. Suppose you are writing highly specialized low
level software, such as when taking advantage of a specific
computer's architecture at the system or hardware level.
It is easy for me to imagine that you are working way below
Ada's tasking level. Are you suggesting that this is the
normal mode of using a high level programming language
that supports tasking?
