I used it to respond with a link to the rational study (which bascily says the same thing his article says, but has numbers to back it up), and to argue that his noticed decrease in % use of Ada among reader survey respondents might not mean a whole lot. He has already sent me a rather nice reply promising to look at the study. He also pointed out that there has been a huge increase in the embedded market as a whole over the last few years, so it is quite possible that Ada use in embedded systems is increasing, yet its market share is dropping. I thought that was a rather good point. -- T.E.D. Home - mailto:dennison@telepath.com (Yahoo: Ted_Dennison) Homepage - (temporarily down)
