Crosstalk Article from Aonix

[<adaworks@sbcglobal.net>]

In a recent article about safety-critical software, the author,
an employee of Aonix, manages to avoid even one mention
of  Ada.  He seems to be unaware that, in the safety-critical
domain, Ada is still a much better option than Java.  In this
kind of article one would expect at least a token nod
in the direction of Ada from an Aonix author . C and C++
are mentioned often. This is a rather glaring considering that
Aonix was once an important player in the world of Ada.

The Aonix web site, to be fair, does continue to feature their
Ada products.  One wonders whether Ada is still a significant
percentage of their revenue.
