This is Linux World week in Silicon Valley. Red Hat has announced
an IPO. Major software publishers are developing products
that include applications, middleware, and utilities. So far,
Ada is not well represented at Linux World. No Ada-specific
software companies this week. Did I miss someone?
GNAT already runs on Linux. If you are a software developer who
likes Ada, and you have an idea for a product, this might be the
time for you to build it and market it. The success of Ada is
ultimately going to depend on Ada enthusiasts creating excellent
software for a market where there is a need for new products.
Linux may be the best window of opportunity. Sonebody once said that,
"No one gets rich in software writing programs for someone else."
While this may not be entirely true, it is more likely for you to
make your fortune writing a software product you can sell over and
over. Why not do it in Ada? Ladies and gentlemen, "Start your engines."
