Just nailing it down to the IDE is not really sufficient, OA - for example-
has quite a nice IDE and Win32 integration.
For Ada to make inroads into the IS departments for NT based systems, a lot
more is needed, among which:
a) a reliable, simple to use, database system;
b) alternatively, easy interfacing to available data sources
c) a good IS centered (Martin) design tool integrating with Ada
d) an easy to use, form based, UI generator
e) lots of low cost supporting libraries
d) DCOM, CORBA, ODBC, etc, automation
and for us lower level types:
a) a freely available POSIX standard for using OS features like file and
record locking in a OS independant manner;
b) Said POSIX libary standard with all relevant Ada compilers on all
relevant platforms.
Anyone offering such a contact ? :-)
