Re: is ada dead?

Yup. Ada is dead. That's why there is absolutely no activity on this
newsgroup. :-)

But seriously: Lurk on this group for a while. You'll discover that a) lots
of people use Ada, b) it is not just for the DoD anymore (if anything quite
the opposite) and c) it is easy to learn and fun to use. The full language
is very rich, so don't expect to become a pro overnight, but you can easily
pick up a subset dialect of it very quickly.

Check out http://www.adapower.org/ for lots of Ada resources. For some
indication of who is using Ada, visit:
http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~dirk/ada-belgium/success/Who_s_Using_Ada.html
For a quick start in getting to know Ada, see:
http://www.learnada.com/index.htm where Bard Crawford has some excellent
materials. There are lots of online tutorials, etc as well. Just get to
Google and type "Learn Ada" or similar stuff or visit AdaPower where lots of
resources exist. You're always welcome to visit my homepage where there are
links & Ada resources as well.
