Come on. Just because Ada has some roots in the DoD doesn't mean that
that's all it's good for! My experience with Ada was in a factory
automation environment that had nothing to do with DoD. Ada was a
good language for doing seriously designed systems in.
I'd love to see Ada on the Macintosh since that's the machine I now
work on (before was using DEC's Vax/VMS Ada). The Mac could use some
serious software engineering oriented compilers and tools!
