No conspiracy, just the realization that Ada doesn't fit in most 
environments.  Or rather, that other languages fit better in most 
business environments.

For example, I am a computer programmer working for a civilian contractor.
  We write software for the Air Force.  To be exact, we write mobility 
software (basically a database with a GUI).  Even the client is starting 
to realize that Ada isn't the best language for the job.  Not that it 
does them any good, since the AF is still doing all new code development 
in Ada.

I wish these guys would learn the concept of "Specific Tools for Specific 
Jobs."
