A short view from the other side: When I started work in 1986 I've got an Ada job (in compiler development). But when our company dropped Ada I had to look for a new job. Since then I work with CHILL. Every try to get a new Ada job fails. When I asked for a job where Ada knowledge is wanted, I always get the answer: "Sorry, but you does not fit our needs". What needs ? I'm 39 years old, maybe this is the problem ? I have long hair and wear jeans, is this the problem ? I think one should not say "we don't find Ada people" if in fact he does not want them either.
