- It's a chicken-and-egg thing. No one uses Ada because no one uses
- Ada. Since so few others use Ada, I'm not inclined to start.

- I do Windows software development. None of the development kits from
- Microsoft have ever come with Ada bindings. That limits my ability to
- use Ada. Third parties have created Ada bindings but they're a
- generation behind, and I need to develop a generation ahead.

- I'm not a Mac developer, but I'm pretty sure that none of Apple's SDKs
- for the Macintosh have ever come with Ada bindings either.
