Bindings are absolutely meaningless measures of Ada's non-Mandated health
if they are only marginally adopted. The DoD blows millions funding the
development of Ada bindings, without ever: measuring whether the commercial
world wants such bindings, determining how to foster and market such
bindings, and measuring who is using these bindings.
But overseeing the funding of Ada bindings is a good way to score promotion
points, so this wasteful practice keeps on going and going and going....
all the while DARPA is funding non-Ada technologies that the non-Mandated
world is adopting.
Ada policy management and review has been plague with dishonesty for ten
years. Is it any wonder that a majority of even the DoD is rejecting Ada?
