- I am a student undertaking the last year of Software Engineering degree at
- Swinburne University (no longer an institute) in Victoria, Australia. Ada is
- an intergral part of this course, being taught everything from basics
- to run-time development using concurrency.
-
- In M Feldmans last posting he says that "... Ada has become an integral
- part of many computer science programs...". My question is this :-
-
- With the exception of DOD contracts, has Ada been used (to a large degree)
- in any other projects. I know of three companies only (in Australia) that
- uses Ada to and large degree, and all of those are involved in military
- contracts. Also, would anyone out there be prepared to command on how
- good or bad Ada is for use in prototyping. I personally reckon that it's
- great, but I am only a student yet to see any use of Ada in a project lasting
- more that about 9 months.
-
- Any reply would be appreciated; you have my thanks in Advance.
