Just read my latest edition of Crosstalk.  Yet another article
that names every programming language ever invented
and completely ignores any mention of Ada.   And here
we have an author whose credibility in implying that
Ada is irrelevant is reinforced by having been at AJPO.

Even as we educate people about the benefits of Ada, former DoD
officials with their focus on consulting dollars throw unnecessary
obstacles in the path of wider acceptance.
