I did not get to ESC conference this year. My schedule made it impossible to attend. I am glad to hear that Aonix featured Ada. What about Rational? I know that AdaCore continues to vigorously promote Ada. Today I presented the Ada module in my "programming paradigms" course. The reaction from students is good. Soon, though, I may lose that course to one of our junior faculty who knows nothing about Ada. Ed Falis indicated surprise that anyone could misinterpret Paige's memo. The fact is that the misinterpretation was widespread and that wrong interpretation was received with a certain amount of glee in some quarters. For some reason, Ada has enemies. It is not entirely clear why this should be the case. Richard
