Did you notice the following on the A# website?

"Negotiations are in progress with Microsoft to include Ada in Visual
Studio .NET"

I personally would love to see this happen.  I think it would greatly
increase the use of Ada.  I'd also like to see the A# project ported
to *nix so that it could run on the Mono and Portable DotNet.   I
think this would fill a big void in using Ada for desktop
applications.  Namely, the lack of application frameworks and support
libraries.
