declaimed the following:
Ada took over from CORAL in the UK, at least in military projects. It
was also used in the aircraft industry. My old work mates tell me that
its completely died a death, to be replaced by C++. Someone please
remind me never to fly again.
Still used on some of the boxes being made... (I've just spent a month
investigating problem reports for a software release).
Granted, that's an Ada 83 cross compiler running on VAX/VMS itself
running on a Windows server box with an emulator. It would cost way too
much money to try to recompile with, say, GNAT Pro -- as the entire suite
(including the compiler) would have to be recertified for airworthiness.
Having seen the comments on this thread I think some of the participants
need to be recertified for programmerworthiness.
