Ada was sparse at the Technology of Object-Oriented Languages and 
Systems, TOOLS EUROPE '95 conference in Versailles, France this week. 

Two Ada vendors showed up:  Rational and Thomson [Alsys].  Both had
C++ development environments on very large monitors, but neither had 
_any_ Ada products to demo.

One of the only two known Ada personalities there was Ed Schoenberg 
(NYU and ACT) for a panel which finished early, titled "Multiple 
inheritance issues".  Professor Schoenberg showed up on stage looking 
gnatty, in need of a shampoo, a haircut, and a necktie.

Of note was how and why Schoenberg even bothered to show up at the 
conference in the first place:  Rational and Thomson split the cost.

Europe is definitely not high on Ada, but rather on Eiffel.
