Sure, I think that most (or in fact pretty much all Ada
enthusiasts contributing to CLA) would agree with that
statement, but that's not what I was talking about. I
was talking about where you can practically expect to
extend the use of Ada.

I certainly am all in favor of any other kinds of efforts
to extend the use and awareness of Ada, because I am in
favor of reliable software (yes, it also corresponds to
my interest (in the other sense) in Ada Core Technologies),
but I think those of you who know me know that my enthusiasm
for Ada long predates my financial interest in ACT :-) :-)

Indeed Ada Core Technologies is doing its best to promote the
spread of Ada at all levels, and our current work on GVD, the
new visual interface for GDB, written by the GtkAda team using
the GtkAda technology, is an exciting opportunity for
introducing more of the world to Ada :-)
