He recognizes the benefits of Ada for many kinds of applications. Jack and I have been corresponding about Ada because he has been wondering why it has not been more widely adopted, given what he sees as its benefits. He agrees that it could be more popular if developers knew the facts instead of the rumors so he asked if he might be allowed to include Ada Distilled on his web site. I, of course, gave him the go-ahead to do so. Richard Riehle
