I have been told by "agency" guy that some companies program Ada in way that means performance is not met, i.e. 4 or more layers for an essentailly driver app. Meanwhile the same company will program in C and make it fit the performance constraints, i.e. 1-2 layers. Reason - I assume it the the God of OOD and OSI.. By the way, these are embedded systems with tight CPU requirements. I prefer Ada (having just finished a C project) but find it hard to compete with the QA and other Standards people who forget that if a prigram cannot meet performance reqts (however well it meets Quality stnds), then it don't work (fullstop). PS. I have written Ada in 2 major embedded and working systems. chris.danx wrote in message news:oo_47.59082$B56.11636075@news2-win.server.ntlworld.com... > > "codesavvy" wrote in message > news:5be89e2f.0107170838.c71ad61@posting.google.com... > > How come it is not more widely accepted?
