Message-ID: <1991Jun25.012922.17113@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov> (raw)
Ada is failing (or not succeeding as fast as some other languages) because
compilers for it are much more expensive than those for other languages. C
(& now C++) is so popular because C compilers were free or inexpensive during
the last half of the 70's & most of the 80's. The same has been true of C++
-> C interpreters & now C++ compilers for the last few years.
