| That's what sells Java, Visual Basic, etc. today. And to 
| compete with that flashy marketing, Ada would need several
| tens of millions of dollars. That's not going to happen. 

As stated by Ludovic, there is an hope on the free software field.
Although Hipe and Money is dooing very well also on this field, there is a
(tiny) possibility to be on hype without big investments.
 
And I expect such hype to have a direct effect outside of the free software
world, starting on academic and then industriel world. 
So, there is still a way to spread Ada, and good software habits by the way.

After all, this is not less realistic than having a student shaking
Microsoft and Unix world with an home made OS :-)
