Counting heads...

Counting heads...

[Rod Weston]

I would really love to see a list of Ada programming shops, but I know
that a lot of companies would balk at seeing their name listed in a
newsgroup. But I'm much more interested in how many and their
direction rather than names, so let's try this...  Please fill in the
form below and post it as a reply to this message, hopefully only one
response per shop.

If No, please list other programming languages with approximate
breakdown by percentage

It would be interesting to know of what companies utilize Ada to any
non-trivial extent. Perhaps this is something that would fall under SIGAda
jurisdiction? If a shop has much use of Ada at all, someone there is likely
to be a member. Asking the membership for their company affiliation &
whether or not Ada is used there (Always, Sometimes, Never) would provide
useful information if it was put on the website.
