In the May 13 issue of "Electronic Design", the EDA watch section is about
the use of Ada 95 as a hardware/software codesign language, and has some
discussion of Annex H and a subset based on intersecting with the VHDL
reserved word set. While some of the details sounded goofy to me, I think
the general idea is quite good. There is a lot of talk about Java as such 
a language, but Ada is clearly better.
