Harrison, Norfolk State University) said" >... maybe we need to encourage Computer Language Magazine to have an >annual Ada issue. Too late, I'm afraid, as Computer Language has just gone under. This is obviously due to their continued emphasis on C and C++ programming, an approach that is doomed to failure in the Non-Munditoed World. When will these people learn that a slick magazine with lots of advertising, appearances at national and international conferences, etc. are not enough to make a language successful. They couldn't even succeed with the HUGE government investment that they got from using magazine rates for mailing AND sorting into zipcode order. What a bunch of jerks! Not only that, but they never gave me the huge amount of money that I deserved for pointing out a typo in one of their copyright notices.
