If this stuff is so great, why don't I see any of the STARS vendors at
CASE shows and conferences marketing and publicizing their truly innovative
work?  Because, no one would buy the junk the the DoD willingly accepts.

Take IBM, the grand masters of hypocrisy in truly innovative technology.
They have a commercial line, AD/CYCLE, which addresses the same exact
problem in the real world that STARS addresses in the defense world.  Not
once in the past five years has IBM made any mention of Ada or STARS in
any of their AD/CYCLE material, presentations or products.  Why?  Because
IBM doesn't waste time on things no one wants to spend their money own.

Remember that "metaprogramming" doesn't mean "bettaprogramming".
