Do panic. Whatever new fads that are out there being adopted (CASE,OO,GUI,
multiprocessing,distributed processing,AI,natural language) is not being
done in Ada to any significant degree. If this was ten years ago, I would
agree, don't panic as the race has just begun. But this is ten years into
these races, and Ada is nowhere to be found.
