Good question, Robert. First, let me re-affirm, for those who do
not know me, that I am a long-standing Ada advocate. The questions
raised in my original post were intended to raise some discussion,
not to sound a death knell for Ada. If I thought Ada was moribund,
you can be certain I would not be doing what I do every day.
As to your question, I frequently run into DoD projects that are
being developed in C++. And, to my horror, someone recently told
me that a missile system I thought was being developed in Ada
(originally was being programmed in Ada) is now flying on software
coded in C++. Unfortunately, this is a DoD project and I need to
be somewhat circumspect in discussing it. So that is all I will say.
If someone with more authority than I have wants to talk about it,
I would like to see it brought up here.
