In the same sense that Visual Basic is "doomed"? ;-)
I think it would be useful to position Ada as a standard, portable
alternative to Java. The big problem is, as has been observed in the
past, that Ada doesn't come with fifty bazillion predefined, "standard"
classes and Ada doesn't come with a full-up, integrated development
environment. To some extent, this is changing, but it still remains a
hodge-podge collection of stuff that you have to pull together for
yourself.
What would you suggest as the strategy for positioning Ada as a
competitor to Java?
