Getting Ada visible

[Martin]

Just got this in an email from Jack Ganssle (Ada fan!) and thought it
might do to get some Ada boxes ticked to show it is still alive-and-
kicking:

"VDC Research is conducting its annual survey of embedded engineers,
and if you are involved in the engineering of embedded systems,
they'd be interested in hearing from you. The research covers
embedded software, hardware, tools, and development practices. VDC
will provide all respondents who complete the survey:

* A summary of the 2009 survey findings
* A chance to win a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate
* Instant access to a summary of VDC's 2008 survey findings

To begin the survey, go to:
http://www.vdcresearch.com/misc/surveys/09esdt/?RID=G"

Cheers

I just did this, and it's a well-designed survey, with a nice web
interface. Obviously oriented towards tool marketing, but that's what
pays the bills. And Ada is one of the choices for language (the first
choice, of course :). 

Interestingly, VHDL is _not_ one of the choices!

Is SPARK offered as a language choice?
