Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt.
Are you sure there is anything new here to discuss? I'd be interested in
a fresh perspective, but I'm not convinced there is.

Only if we make it so. If we quit having angst over how popular Ada is
and why, and just get down to implementing, recommending, specifying and
in general promoting Ada, its popularity won't be an issue. Remember
that C was around for a long time before it caught on with any "mass
market" appeal. The more we do with Ada and the more useful tools we
make available, the more likely it is Ada will appeal to the masses.
Hey! Anybody out there want to write the next Great American Operating
System in Ada? I'm game! Linux, watch out! :-)
