P.S. Feasibility of using Ada in new development

P.S. Feasibility of using Ada in new development

[Andrew Carroll]

Hopefully my mention of "my" failure and ineptitude to use A# does not
deter others from using it.  It has been revealed to me that a GUI can
be built using Visual Studio (C#) and then references to Ada Dll's can
be placed into the C# code so that Ada can be used for the "real work".
Impressive!  I can't say that I would have ever thought of doing that.
Then again, I'm not sure I'd want to?.  Hmmm...was that in the docs?
Anyway, I've never used Visual Studio .Net and I think the person who
revealed it to me was in fact the author (or one of them) of A#.  I'm
pretty sure they have a better understanding of it that I.

My point was that A. you can choose what you and the client "feel good
about", B. The project may dictate what you choose and C. Due to
popularity, hype, productivity and available documentation there may not
be much of a choice.
