I'm working on a book on Linux programming using Ada 95 and the gnat
compiler. The book company I'm speaking with doesn't have a problem
publishing a Linux book, but they feel that Ada is a "declining language"
that nobody is interested in and that has no future.
I'm look for any surveys/stats/personal testimonies you can give me to
support the idea that in general Ada is not a "declining language". For
example, anything about educational institutions using Ada, words from
authors who have published Ada books, and the value of Ada against popular
languages. That sort of thing.
I've already visited www.adahome.com. Any further support would be
appreciated.
Thanks.
