Retire to do what? Sit back and rot along with all that software? ;-)
I'd like to retire next year. Or even this afternoon - if I could work
that out with the Lottery Commission. But if I did, I'd do so to persue
other interests besides developing engine controls in Ada. Like maybe
writing the Great American Operating System in Ada. Or maybe tilt at
some windmills and make Ada the new language of choice for programming
Financial Analysis applications.
I guess I'm one of the crowd who has grown tired of those who simply
follow the crowd and cave in to C++/Java/Whatever because that's the way
the wind is blowing. I'd rather take the useful technology that's
available and build more out of it than waste my time calling other
people names because they won't give in to whatever trend I think they
ought to follow.
