Ok, I'd like to start an open discussion on the above subject.

We all know that Ada is stil a nich language in the commerical world.

It has been that way for over 20 years.

Yet, we all know that Ada is a great language, many of use 
will say the best of all current languages.

So, will Ada ever gets it day, and become very popular? 
What is missing from Ada that does not make it as popular
as Java or C or C++ or Delphi or Perl or Python or VB etc..?

Why did all those other language get to be used so much more, 
while Ada remain little used commercially?

Is it lack of leadership on the part of the companies making
Ada products? What do you think Ada needs to become the next
hotest thing around as Java is now?

List the thing you think Ada needs, in terms of technical issues,
or non technical issues. 

There got to be a reason why a good language such as Ada is used
so little.

thanks for your time and ideas.

Chris
