Just notice that a) Java had something new (sort of) to offer and b) Sun did a superb job of getting that message out. The lesson to learn is that if Ada wanted to try to gain some market dominance that it a) needs to have something *new* to offer and b) needs to do a superb job of getting that message out. You can't simply rely on it being a "superior technology". Build a better mousetrap and you *still* need to tell people about it or they'll never beat a path to your door.
