Re: GUI builder for Ada

[Richard D Riehle <laoXhai@ix.netcom.com>]

In light of the comments, below, I am beginning to wonder if the recent
changes at Aonix are precursors of diminished interest in Ada by the new
owners.  Will Aonix follow the lead of some other former Ada-only compiler
publishers, and decide Ada is a marginal product, not worth of significant 
support and marketing effort?  With the non-voluntary departure of the most 
visible Ada advocates within Aonix, and no public announcements regarding 
commitment to the ObjectAda product line, I believe there is reason for concern.  
Maybe they simply plan to sell the Ada technology to someone else?
