Actually, some are moving to projects elsewhere in other U.S. government
agencies. For example, Department of Energy is now using Ada for some
projects. A few other agencies are also evaluating it.
I have been encountering more former DoD programmers who are using Ada
to build commercial software products. At least one of them, I see,
is an occasional contributor to this forum.
And when the C++ programmers begin to discover Ada 9X, there ought to
be a massive migration to Ada. The more I look at Ada 9X, the more
I realize just how excellent it is.
Ada is not the language of the future, but it is a language of the future.
C++ is not the language of the future, but it is also a language of
the future.
There is no single language of the future, probably not even Eiffel, as
good as that language may be.
