I love ADA, but it is DEAD. DEAD. DEAD. My $3000 Alsys ADA compiler suite have been removed for 5 years. Yes there are legacy issues and as I have said I loved ADA. Might I add that if ADA was to rise from the grave, QNX RTP would be the most responsive realtime OS to put in on. Most people criticise ADA for its multitasking overhead. RTP would keep this to a TRUE minimum. I would love to see a port of GNAT but it would only be a curiousity. Not even DOD nor DND use ADA anymore. (In DND, I can only recall a few LSEC projects (IFCCS?) that used it. All the new projects were C/C++. Maybe TCCCS had some ADA, I can't recall. If ADA had Gui/audio constructs it would have beat JAVA as JAVA came many years later. Oh Well.
