   Actually, if you closely read what I posted, and my other postings, I both
don't blame the Ada language itself for many DoD software problems and, like
the language and recommends it use (otherwise I wouldn't have wasted a lot
of my own money trying to start an Ada software reuse business).  In fact,
one of the most clearly understood Prolog interpreter I ever saw was written
in Ada.
   My concerns always have been the unbusiness-like way the DoD runs the Ada
software business.  The day the Mandate goes away is the day I go away from
posting to comp.lang.ada.  Until then, someone has to accept responsibility
for such dismal ratings as the Economist article implies.
