I'm still missing Ada applications at all (in the public). I never heard about a CD-burning app in Ada, nor of an .wav or .bmp manipulation app, nor something else (except GNAT and GVD). If there is not the _one_ killer app, is this a reason for not having _anything_ in Ada? BTW, I'm searching a new job since last july. I've got some offers - all in the automotive area. They all use C. When I asked them whether they would switch to Ada they said "Yes, if there are good tools". (They work with HC12/8051/C166)
