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. Richard Riehle
