I know JSF uses a little bit of Ada.   The ratio of Ada to C++
is?   Much less Ada than originally intended, according to
my sources.   I have been away from the fray for a while, so
I am not sure of the current ratio.

I know that AdaCore continues to be a strong supporter of
Ada and that is the bright hope.   Rational and Aonix are
nowhere to be seen.   I am in a DoD environment where
it would be helpful to have them visible, but I never hear
from them.  I must say that Praxis is still proactive and they
even had someone visit our campus a while back.  They are
the only Ada company to come to our site.

I used to hear from DDC-I on a regular basis, but they seem
to have drifted out of sight too.   It seems to be up to AdaCore
and Praxis to keep Ada alive and in the public eye.
