We are quite aware that the Ada world is much smaller than either the Java or
C/C++ worlds. The difference is that you are the one who interrupted this
thread with an off-topic claim:

Being both an Ada newcomer and an embedded developer, I have no idea of the
level of Ada support for your list. Perhaps some others will choose to
respond if they think it would be informative. If you feel that Java is the
right tool for your applications then I'm delighted. Ada is clearly a better
tool for *my* applications. What I don't understand, and what I resent, is
the compulsion by many Java supporters to turn any discussion, on any topic,
into a Java press release.

No, actually my message wasn't talking about commercial/business stuff at all.
But, yes, Ada does seem stuck, and a lot of us think that is a sad state of
affairs.
I don't see much need to carry on this discussion, so I won't respond any more
on this topic.
