I always thought that Ada would never be accepted as a viable lanaguage
until Borland comes out with Turbo Ada. Until then it will probably
remain a niche language, no matter how good it is. In the market place
perception is everything. Every computer store in the world sells
C/C++ compilers, almost none sell Ada compilers. As good as Ada is, it
will probably never overcome such market penetration (remember Betamax
VCRs?).
