Thanx for this! I actually have a friend or two who said the same thing
when them saw my responses here. If I may offer a quote of my own: "The
greatest thing my children taught me was to laugh at myself." I'm
laughing. That's good, isn't it?

My question too, sir.
Like the rest of you, I have a mortgage to pay and children to feed. I
also want to retire in the next 10-15 years (I'm 40). I really want to be
where the action is, and I'm simply unconvinced that Ada's doing anything
but going away. Can ANYONE offer me anything to the contrary? I'm
sincerely interested in hearing otherwise. I'm an experienced Ada man who
has moved on to the lush, green (if ugly) C++ Pastures and I'm grazing
blissfully in the Javalands as well. I don't see the demand for these
languages doing anything but increasing, and I see nothing but the
opposite for Ada. Can ANYONE offer me evidence to the contrary?
Thank you for your respectful answers to my OWN caffinated responses.
Sincerely,
