While looking at the SIGAda 2000 web site, I notice that the role of Ada in
defense applications is minimized (even after the explicit requirements in
this area were dropped). For example, the list of "recent" successful
Ada-based systems includes only commercial projects, some five years old,
although one of the most recent Ada success stories occurred just a few days
ago (October 24). I also notice that an interview last year with Tucker Taft
included the statement "These days we�re focused mostly on commercial
success stories..." I can understand wanting to promote commercial
applications, but isn't this going a little overboard?
