Does anybody have experience using BETA for programming embedded
systems. I'm always suspicious about OO languages and embedded
systems because:

1. They tend to use a lot of data space, with out you
   even finding out.

2. They generate a lot of code

3. Can it generate the datastructures I need for manipulating bits.
   It's usually hard to fiddle with bits without writing a lot of
   code. Of course it can be encapsulated, but how efficient is
   the compiler to optimize this.

I was taught Beta five years ago, at Aalborg University, by one
of its inventors. So I know what BETA is, but at that time BETA 
was far from mature.
