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?
