From someone *in* the UK, there has recently been quite a few
vacancies I've seen where Ada is mentioned as a 'useful', but not
'must have' skill. It is clear that a number of places are now
considering Ada as a useful language to provide a good background in
O-O, which should ease any cross-training into C++ and Java. There
also appears to be an increase in demand for Ada in the financial
markets in London where, in some areas as far as I can tell, VAX
Pascal had a stronghold.
