This somewhat fits with a message I was preparing to post:

I just read an article about four systems for distributed computing that
are preparing to compete in this area:  Jini from Sun, UP&P from
Microsoft, Inferno from Lucent Technologies, and (name forgot) from IBM.
(Article alleges that Inferno is technically the best but the worst in
marketing--sound familiar?)

Here's a chance for an Ada advocate with a good idea to have something
ready to run with an emerging technology.
