From the article written by someone from Aonix, this is not
apparent.  More damaging is that the absence of any mention
of Ada, from a company that was founded on Ada technology,
gives the false impression that Aonix is no longer interested in
Ada.

That impression contributes to the decline of Ada.  It is a kind
of self-fulfilling prophecy.   This is truly sad since Aonix was
once an advocate for Ada and now seems to be saying, "We
are de-emphasizing Ada in favor of an inferior technology,
Real-time Java."   Everything the author thinks will make Java
better is already present in Ada.  Why is there no mention of
that fact?

There was a time when I was happy to see Aonix taking a stand
for what was right.   I see the image a bit tarnished by this article.
