The most interesting thing was that there are several companies making money using Ada, and they are all growing :). I've been more inspired to look into using SPARK to write solid code. The Ada 200Y features sound fun, too; aggregates for limited types, a solution for mutually recursive types, Java-style interfaces, no more silent overloading when overriding was meant. If you subscribe to Ada Letters, the proceedings should appear in a few months :). -- -- Stephe
