Yes, I know about GNU Ada.
I don't mean to disparage Ada as a language in any way. When I get
the time, I'd love to learn it and do some tinkering. There is
apparently a lot to admire about the language, and it may well be the
better language. It's too bad getting into the language is as
difficult as it is. I'd really welcome Borland Turbo Ada myself.

In fact many professionals must look at what's being "pushed"
("pulled" really; the market demands C and C++ more than it does Ada,
and vendors are responding to demand) and choose tools with better
support, wider availability, and larger experience base.
