There is an article in 01informatique (a specilized french news paper) of
october
1998 (n?1516 - page 8) about the Meteor new subway...

It is very technical, speaking of many aspects of the project... but it does
not
mention Ada :-(

I have sent a letter to the editor to tell him that it was coded in Ada and
asking him
why Ada was not mentioned. I'am pretty sure that if Meteor was coded in Java,
Java
would have been mentioned many times...

Pascal.
