There has been no shortage of discussion here about the role of Ada in
the defense and commercial software development sectors.  Does anyone
have any opinion -- or even better, knowledge -- about the importance
of Ada in the R&D plans of DARPA (apparently again to be called ARPA)
and/or other federal agencies?  Is it important to them?  As a CS
researcher, this question is almost as important to me as Ada's
position in the software development community.

Hoping to see some (but not too much!) discussion...

Cheers,
