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

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

I don't think that it does - in principle. But we don't build things in 
the abstract. We build things in the Real World(tm) where a competing 
language may offer lots of leverage that raw Ada alone can't compete 
against. So if we want to see Ada succeed somewhere rather than just 
grouse about how the people in that market sector are bone-heads for not 
picking Ada, then we ought to look at what they do, how they do it, what 
help they need, what would make their lives better, etc., and make sure 
Ada provides it.

Or having learned all that stuff and invented a better answer, go off 
and compete against them and win. Then *they* can go off grumbling about 
how Ada is a stupid idea and we control the industry just because we 
somehow cheated or got lucky. :-)
