There is a subculture that does not like to run with the herd, that wantto operate
within a minority precisely because its a minority - that popularity
is somehow a negative quality. Is this is alive and well within the Ada world?
I'd rather Ada was mainstream, but I cannot see that happening
without the JAVA type marketing so berated here, I wishfully want
to believe that rumour/myth that M$ is about to jump onboard. The best
advert I can think of for Ada is any open source C code sample, but it does
not seem to stop an army of 'C' language graduates appearing each year.
