Advocate Ada for use in the "applications" space, in particular for non-safety critical, non-embedded general purpose software and business systems. 2. Generate a market for Ada software that allows individual developers and small teams to profit along with building large corporate interest and jobs. 3. Increase the grass root interest in Ada in the open source community and among hobbyists and students (outside the academic courses). 4. Materialize in a more practical and centralized fashion off the shelf reuse of Ada code. 5. Benefit anyone working on the GNAT compiler (including AdaCore) in order to help insure the continued high quality development of the Ada language and compilers that are free (as in Stallman) software and unencumbered Ada runtimes for public use.
