I was hoping that you would reply to this thread.  Thank you, for the reply=
 and for all your valuable & appreciated work on RxAda.  (Comp.lang.ada is =
more exciting when principle people contribute their expertise regarding fr=
esh trends in Ada, rather than merely students seeking to cheat on their ho=
mework/test questions.) Is RxAda released publicly?  If not yet, might RxAd=
a be released publicly as part of that GtkAda/Gnoga demonstration?

Also, (other than lack of free time) what has been the biggest obstacle to =
your development of RxAda?  Ada lacks lambdas/anonymous-subroutines but eve=
n the RxJava community sometimes prefers named methods over lambdas in app-=
domain code that utilizes RxJava, even in the latest versions of Java that =
have full-fledged lambdas in the language now.  What other language feature=
s or lack there of in Ada cause concern in your development of RxAda?  Have=
 you envisioned language features unique to (current or future) Ada that wo=
uld allow RxAda to go beyond the state of the art in the Rx libraries for a=
ll the other languages?
