As Robert Leif says "the way to make Ada popular is to make Ada
programmers visibly rich". Perhaps if you can write a web server in
Ada that is so obviously an improvement on any existing web server
that everyone wants it, that would also be good advertising. But if
it was so much better that people would even pay a bunch, *that* would
really be convincing. IMHO
