Thank you for your reply. Could you may be explain what you mean
by the locked part above as it relates to "numeric computations" bit?

I am working now at school on numerical pde's, and was wondering
what do you mean by being "locked" there? in what sense?

on the GUI part, I think making good easy to use GUI is a skill
few has, and it is very important and will always be, more so
in the future, because more and more people will want to use computers,
and making the interfaces easier, will be even more important
with time. That is why ipad and its relatives are success.

Ada having no build-in GUI in it, like with Java for example,
is hurting it, not helping it.

I think if Ada, somehow, had a building GUI making ability in it,
it would have been much more popular. Imagine if when Java
was first relased, if it had come with no GUI in it, it would have
gone no where.
