I am afraid that it is technically almost impossible. It is not a high-end market. The available financial resources are scattered among many small and middle sized projects. The amount is potentially immense, but it is out of reach. Add here, that people controlling these resources have prejudice against Ada [and anything except C or Java]. They cannot be convinced by any technical arguments, until the project collapses, which is then too late. So we must be better, cheaper and quicker. -- Regards, Dmitry Kazakov www.dmitry-kazakov.de
