Who is backing them? could it be that they have managed to solve the "demo problem" and have enticed their sponsors and investors help them take the next step? my impression of Ada (and the mandate) is that it tries to take one big step and ask nobody for help. a pearl of wisdom very expensive in its acquisition: if you communicate strongly enough that you don't need help, you will never get any, even when you need it. # -- Microsoft is not the answer.
