Then how come the rest of the world are moving to Java even in the
area of embedded systems?
 
Check an article titled "Java driving a revolution in Embedded Systems"
by John Waters, in Strategic Platforms spring 99 magazine. The whole edition
is on Embedded Systems, and it is all about Java. Ada is not even mentioned.

Some quotes

"You can put out a higher quality product in less time. Our clients are
moving to Java technology in a major way". Larry Podmolik, Chief technical
officer, strategic Technology Resources.

"Licensing the EmbeddedJava and PersonalJava environment is an
important step forward building TI's offering on the software
side of that question". Gilies Delfassy, Geneal Manager, TI wireless
communications.

"The embedded systems market is big business and getting bigger. 
EmbeddedJava technology is enabling advanced that were barely
imagined a few years ago".
N. Iravani
Group manager, Market development, Sun.

On Java technology in industrial automation "As Sun continues to move
with java-based technologies in industrial automation, leading
automation system vendors will be able to achieve sensor to boardroom
capabilities. And they'll do it using a completely networked, Object based
architecture that takes advantage of emvedded java technology". Kevyn
Renner, group manager, worldwide industrial automation development, Sun.


"Geoworks is helping to broaden the 'run anywhere' part of the java WORA
mission", David Grannan, President and CEO, Geoworks corp.

"Developers turn to personalJava and EmbeddedJava to complement
real-time operating systems in devices". Tony Reveaux.

So, is java kicking Ada out of embedded systems also? Where is Ada
reponse to Java taking over the embedded market?  

West.
