I mean if you are going to promote Ada outside the military :-). In a lot of countries (especially those where it is still mandatory drafting), the military is looked down to by young people who can be potential Ada users. That DoD paid for Ada is not a problem for me as a lot of money was available to make a language which is good and well designed. But the label military language has a bad ring to it for a lot of people... Preben Randhol
