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.

Speaking from the experience of converting from Jovial (C like) to Ada 83
for GPS now GPS/INS embedded system developement, I think you will be able to
look back after a few years of work on a team programming effort and think
the change was worthwhile. Ada 95 will only be better. IMHO and AFAIK.
