Can anyone give an Ada perspective on this press release? http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/990527/wa_boeing__1.html The note mentions that 900K slocs were delivered, but Ada is not mentioned, though surely it was used. Perhaps mentioning the language is not always appropriate in a press release (after all, what does Boeing have to gain by saying that it was Ada code), but I have the feeling that if Java was the implementation language, the article would have mentioned it, just because Java is a 'hot item' nowadays. And what about the International Space Station? Over this weekend, the space station received a lot of good press because of the successful installation of equipment and smooth operations. Ada is a critical technology for the flight systems of the space station and many of the ground systems (including the training facility, which I work on). Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed perceive no vested interest in publishing their Ada success stories. In the past, compiler vendors would issue press releases on success of various Ada-related projects. AJPO used to do some PR, usually by writing stories in its newsletter. Does anyone know if the ARA has plans to publish Ada PR? It would be nice if the Ada part of the story was told when when a project successfully completes a milestone. Stanley Allen mailto:[log in to unmask]
