Subject: Why is Ada succeeding in Europe?
Message-ID: <1993Apr6.161921.22897@software.org>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

Well, it seems fairly obvious that Ada continues to be accepted
in European countries more quickly than in the U.S.  What is(are)
the ROOT cause(s)?

I'm fairly convinced there is no overwhelming technical argument
(though you may give it a try).  And a few years in the real
world has taught me that perception is more influential than
reality :-)

I'm willing to discuss this off-thread.  Just tell me whether
I can use your comments in a summary.  Otherwise, suggest away--
I'm all ears.
