This weeks Aviation Week has a brief blurb about a million dollar Ada
purchase by the Navy. A million dolars worth of Ada programming
environment which they intended to use to write several million lines
of Ada code. A few weeks ago the same magazine had an article giving
projections of the number of Ada programmers expected to be working on
just DOD projects in 10 years. I don't have the article, looks like
the kids or the cats got the to magazine, but the numbers were very
big. The rate of growth numbers were shocking.

Now who did I loan that old green book to...?
