- The number can't do anything but grow. Since Congress has made it a LAW that
- there will be no more waivers allowed and none have been approved for about
- three years now. Also the House Appropriations Committee has made it quite
- clear that they are currently looking to make an EXAMPLE out of someone that
- is trying to get around the use of Ada.
-
- Ada is here to stay and if you work for a government contractor you had better
- start learning it now or find a different line of work. Why, because it's now
- law and in the next year or so Ada 9X will be complete, GNU/Ada will be
- available next summer, and the number of tools for Ada programming are
- increasing daily. Vendors are moving real hard to get the types of tools out
- there that are now available for C and other languages.
-
- My .02 worth, don't bother to flame because it will do nothing but waste
- the bandwidth. Those dealing with Ada now, they know it and those that don't
- will soon.
