Thanks for the effort: I think this one looks more realistic. Now every reputable CS department has to come up with their own language. That is why there are so many simplistic, totally useless hello-world type of languages that poor students are forced to use. I wonder if someone analyzed what is used for mission-critical/life- safety/embedded apps? That would be closer to what for Ada was designed for. It will probably come down to C/C++ and Ada. Now there are talks about RT extensions in Java and C# also. George
