No, I just didn't consider that a valid objection.[1]

He has a project that requires something Rapberry-Pi-ish running
Ada-whatever, and wants to know if those requirements are easily met?

His whinging when people called him out is what would disincline me to
participate in future discussion.


[1]  I have an R-Pi hanging off the back of the TV to smartify it, and
another one somewhere that I would like to use for a particular control
project if I can figure out where I left it.  That would appear to be
the equivalent of "not owning an R-Pi" because although I have bought
two, neither is currently available for this speculative project (which
I have actually started working on using an Arduino, but that's
presumably off-topic so can't legitimately be discussed here).
