Would the former is because there's not many Ada options inthis area--and I'm fed up with relocation. the latter is that I don't have to. I can live with Java. But not with C/C++. And after nearly twenty years in Defense/Aerospace, I know I can't tolerate the kind of software practices that are S.O.P. in much of the industry. But for both--hey, I've been thinking about going into teaching languages for a long time now anyway. Maybe in the meantime, I'll find the time to invent one of those "killer apps with Ada inside" that we keep talking about here.
