This is indeed something I completly agree. What is good in this new
technology
is the JVM (this is just a new OS, well software OS), Java is just a new
language
that is far better than C/C++ but I still like Ada better. Most of the
features added/removed
from C/C++ in Java were in Ada! This is why I see all the Ada to JVM
compilers has
very important for the Ada world. We *must* have an Ada compiler for this
new
OS as I think it is very important to have an Ada compiler under Windows as
more and more developpers are going this way...
