That is funny. It is almost impossible to find any Ada wanted ads these days.
Actually there are more openings for almost any other language than for Ada.

Can you point to ONE commerical Ada opening right now that requires no
active security clearance in the US? I bet you there is none.

I guess those looking for Ada programmers must be working on some other
planet other than the earth, may be is some secret project on the moon or
Mars?

One of the reasons I dropped from Ada and now do Java and C is the lack of
work in Ada. Not only Ada jobs are almost impossible to find, if you find one,
they put more requirments on you by asking for things like requiring one
to have an active security clearance allready, and after all of this, if
you find an Ada job, the pay is even less than what you can make in C or Java
or C++.

Yup, this sure sounds like there is a huge demand for Ada.
