One of my students recently returned from a large Windows CE conference.
Thousands
of attendees, to his surprise. He is excited about Windows CE for embedded
systems.
In answer to his question regarding Ada support, I had to admit there was none
that I
knew. Well, I suppose he will be able to use C# for this someday. It would
be nice
if there were an Ada compiler for Windows CE, but who would do the port? RR
Software did an excellent thick binding to Windows 95/98/NT/... but I suspect
they
are not yet ready to buy a corporate Lexus with the profits from the product.
If there
are no customers for a product, why would anyone want to build it? If there is
no
product will there be any customers for it?
