As this technology becomes available it will in some cases be built
into Net browsers. When you download an applet and execute it it will
be just-in-time-compiled by your browser.
If so Ada will be able to piggy-back on this new technology too.
Applets will be written in Java or Ada 95 or maybe even some other
language, compiled to bytecodes by their developers, put on the net,
and then the browser will do the native code generation. Ada
should fit in perfectly.
