We are the three musketeers ?  ;)

I agree with you that more programmers asking for using Ada for numerical
and scientific work is needed before Ada experts like you and others and
and those in Ada core will even pay any attention to the noise we are
making.

Ofcourse, if someone comes with 10 million dollars to sponsor a
software project to make Ada the best for numerical and computational work,
then things might be different. We need someone like Bill Gates to become
interested in using Ada for numerical work for this to happen I guess.
