 Interesting ideas -- I read the same article but if USAF
is abandoning Ada, why is is spending big bucks to upgrade
the B-1B processors and to convert our current mish mash
of JOVIAL/AP-101F avionics software to Ada?

Although I think that Ada needs a really good, really cheap
"Borland" compiler to have any chance at becoming mainstream,
I don't think we can sound the death nell just yet.
