Ada with Java's garbage collection was offered for sale. There were
no takers. That indicates to me that the problem is far beyond technical
issues; Ada's reputation and past history, compared with Sun's marketing
savvy, linking Java with the Internet and now a large base of available
Java tools is much more important.

Which is a crying shame. The military still uses Vietnam-era planes but
won't commit to the programming language they commissioned for any period
of time.
