Review: Elec. Eng. Times article on Ada 9X.

[agate!howland.reston.ans.net!europa.eng.gtefsd.com!fs7.ece.cmu.edu!news.s]

In the Sept 13 issue of the Electronic Engineering Times, there
is a regular column called "Embedded Insights", by Alexander
Wolfe, subtitled "Ada on the comeback trail."

This is, IMHO, the fairest article I've _ever_ seen.  Not only does
he say nice things about GNAT and the 9X effort, but he also does
NOT proclaim that Ada will save the world and close up the ozone hole.

Most importantly, perhaps, is his ability to cover the "important"
territory in a small amount of space.  This one's a keeper - tuck
it in your wallet or purse and wave it in front of people when they
ask about Ada 9X.  They won't think you're a zealot, trust me :-)

Thanks for the kind words. I want to continue to report on Ada in the
pages of EE Times. IF anybody has info on new compilers and/or tools from
their organizations, which you feel we should mention, please send me
email at AWOLFE@DELPHI.COM, or US mail to Alex WOlfe, EETImes, 600
