Admiral Tuttle's remarks contain at least one odd comment:

I was not aware that any capabilities are "WIDELY available" through
"parallel implementations" of C (I presume he means "implementations
of C with extensions supporting parallelism").  What is he referring
to here?

Also, what are the capabilities he refers to that Ada 9X will not
provide?  I am particularly curious about what HE is referring to, not
what others of us might answer to the question "What is Ada 9X
missing?"
