re: cheaper - This spring the project I am on was directed by the DoD
customer to switch from Ada95 to C++.  The customer perceives that C++ is
less expensive than Ada95.  I will wait at least a year to give an opinion
on relative cost.  If you haven't looked at C++ in a while look again, the
draft standard ANSI/ISO C++ has new features.

re: Ada 200X - I suggest: 1) Recognize that it is a multilingual world,
accomodate other popular languages. The program I am on is a C++ project
but actually there are 13 programming languages to be used. 2) Recognize
that it is a multi-architecture world, accomodate interpretive systems and
systems which don't admit programs which have runtime systems.

my 2 cents - worth every penny
