Which real time kernel?

In general, it's best to avoid languages with garbage collection for
real time applications as they introduce far too much unpredictability,
but it depends on how hard real time you are.  Things to consider are:
will physical damage or monetary loss occur if you miss a deadline, are
your deadlines measured in microseconds?

If the answer is no to both you're probably fine!
