Tasks in Ada aren't threads, per se, unlike how many people describe them. They can be implemented with threads, but they don't have to be. For embedded and real time systems you likely have a task system suitable for that sort of environment (I'd hope) and Ada compilers targeting such systems will use an appropriate task system.

>I know berating C is trendy, but it feels a bit gratuitous and uncalled for in your comment...

Sorry about that, English is not my first language so i might sound rude sometimes. I actually dont hate C, but if you used it you know its flaws. I think stuff i mentioned about C is objectively bad, hence why i called them dumb stuff.

>Not sure I would like fat pointers, exceptions and threads in my embedded code though

Fat pointers are just pointer + size of an object. You have to pass array size anyway, so its just convenient. Obviously, if you need to just pass a pointer there are ways to do that.

As for exceptions and threads: As i said, you can disable or modify them just by using Restrictions pragma. Its a language defined thing. For example, Ada 2022 defines two profiles for safety-critical hard real-time computing:
