Just for curiosity:

What about OS/400 ?


AS/400 midframe ( now it is very compact - almost as small as PC big tower
design) is pushed hardly by IBM  and  it is widely used now by many
corporations
including my company.

So far  most of  the software is written in COBOL, RPG, CL.
Since r.4.0 or r.4.1  of OS/400 (as far as I remember) Java is also
available for OS/400.  Lotus Notes Server is also ported to OS/400.

Is IBM interested in Ada 95 for  OS/400 ?
