So, this is the problem then.

If all what Ada is to be used for is real-time, and embedded systems, then
fine. But if you want Ada to be used in the commerical non DoD sector, you
need to add to the standard library things that are needed in the commerical
world.

Look at Java Packages and you'll see what I mean.

Yes, it is backgound in commerical applications? where 99% of software
is written.
