Message-ID: <3B970152.4AC6C6E3@PublicPropertySoftware.com> (raw)

For all the commiseration about insufficient interest at large in
Ada, there is a development looming that could possibly remedy that
in a single stroke: the National Missile Defense plan.  This is a
system so preposterous that one can only think about doing it with
absurdly great software.  Is Ada the way to go for such a grandiose
project?  Is anyone lobbying to make Ada the "Official Programming 
Language of the NMD"?  Why or why not?   If the software for this 
project gets done primarily in non-Ada, then we can suspect that 
Ada's time has passed.  If it gets done primarily in Ada, then the 
anemia of interest in Ada will be cured instanter by a gross 
infusion of pelf.
