I can tell you that Ada is alive and well at most Honeywell Divisions. Almost
all of the programs here are now being developed or translated into Ada. This
was a big step from Jovial and C which use a lot of pointers to manipulate data
in our real-time systems. Ada 9X should bring Ada up to date, although you can
still write very good (maintainable) code with Ada 83.
