Re: NOACE- End of the road for Ada?

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

Well, there you have to take a look around you to see what people are 
using in a problem domain to help them get to an end product. Sometimes 
there is no Ada equivalent. Sometimes, there may be an Ada equivalent, 
but usually a limited selection and often not nearly so full featured as 
similar C/C++ or other language tools. Pick your problem space and see 
what is in general use there - then develop things for Ada to address 
that, but better.

In my current class of applications, one of the big tools is Simulink. 
That's just one example since we're still talking about embedded systems 
and there are a whole slew of things that go into that sort of 
development. But its stuff like that where Ada often comes up short - or 
at best a weak "Me Too!!!" player.
