>Bob,
	Get your head out of the sand and start doing a serious 
demographic survey.  You will find that there are twenty more times
C/C++ jobs than Ada jobs in the non-Mandated world, fifteen times more
C/C++ companies, fifteen times more C/C++ products, ten times more C/C++
code being reused, and twenty times more C/C++ language use in 
university research efforts, and that these numbers have held for the
last five years.

	If you, or anyone else inside the Mandated world, made a honest
effort to measure such statistics, the results would be no different:
Ada is dead outside the Mandated world.

  "Get your head out of the sand..."

  Some years ago 99.99% of software was produced in FORTRAN. The world
  changes and evolves.. So there is always the chance that C/C++ will
  reduce its share, and some language will takeover.( Which one for
  sure?  who knows...)
