I agree.

I am already working hard on:

1. A clean and easy to use cross platform (Win32, X, Java/JDK) GUI packages
2. COM access as easy as VB for Ada.

On The Ada Source Code Treasury, I have a section called called projects at:

http://www.botton.com/ada/projects

I am more then willing to donate and help to put up any projects or
proposals for the creation of reusable open software components. (or for
anything Ada for that matter)

Ada has real advantages. Lets make Ada real usable, real easy, and real
open.

Ada can rise to sit as the leading language in many domains now held by Java
and C++, but not with out the tools and components to make it easy for all
levels, programmers and engineers, to develop software.
