Re: Ada used in General Aviation (GA) applications?

When you get 20% of the embedded systems market, I'll congradulate you 
on your enormous success. And I truly hope you do that. Really.

Just remember that others have tried to sell the 
"Ada-to-C-to-Machine-Code" answer in the past and you don't see a whole 
lot of those little controller boards getting programmed in Ada. People 
use the development kit that came with the board for the most part and 
don't want to add extrra layers of stuff on top of it. Especially if it 
involves any work on their part to do so. They want to take it out of 
the box and start programming it. Give them that kind of answer and 
perhaps you'll sell a lot of them.
