It seems we're many to work hard to promote Ada in some way or another,
so in the long run there's hope ;-)

Thanks for noting them :-) I hope you found them valuable enough, you
most probably didn't learn anything, but hopefully some might "see the
light". I can say that I received numerous feedback for those articles
(asking for source code, more details, etc.), already more than for
my serie on Qt (C++, 24 on Qt3, 8 on Qt4). So yes, it seems that Ada
is rather popular after all.

If you have any comment about the articles, please let me know.
