I would think the best form of advocacy is to go back through
your development and field error logs and determine how many
of them could have been prevented at compile time by using Ada,
and present this to your manager. This of course will be an
underestimate of the errors that occur (many errors that a C
programmer would "discover" after a few minutes that wouldn't
have occurred at all in Ada will still not be reported).
Another thing you could do (it worked for the U.S. Navy!)
is to realise it is easier to seek forgiveness than permission.
Write your software in Ada anyway, and then give it to them
as a completed work! (mind you if i was a manager and you did
this to me i'ld be inclined to sack you :-).
