This paper considers some of the issues surrounding the usability of Ada in real-time systems. Attention is focussed on the tasking model and a number of, arguably, deficient features of the language are described. None of the issues discussed can be termed critical as work-arounds are possible, although some of these are inefficient and may not be appropriate in time-critical situations. The 9X process presents an opportunity to reassess the tasking model. This could lead to proposals for language changes that are "desirable" if not stricdy "minimal".
