The US Department of Defense is under a legislative mandate to use Ada for new
software, as from 6/1/91, where cost-effective. My understanding is that
the cost-effectiveness test is being applied in good faith, non-cynically,
via military policy documents (of which I have a couple which I'll
send by e-mail to anyone who writes for them).
NASA and FAA are heavy users of Ada, with no legal mandate to be such.
Other governments, netters?
