While the Ada community has seen and embraced the development of Ada 95 [1], with its enhanced object oriented features and various annexes, much of the rest of the commercial world continues to ignore Ada as a viable tool for software system building.

description While the Ada community has seen and embraced the development of Ada 95 [1], with its enhanced object oriented features and various annexes, much of the rest of the commercial world continues to ignore Ada as a viable tool for software system building. Efforts have been ongoing for some time to provide rationale showing the superiority of Ada 95 over other choices such as C and C++, but with limited success in the commercial marketplace. In this paper, we put forward the idea that the Ada community should focus on: 1) interoperability with components built in other languages, and 2) convenient, easy to use toolsets for composing distributed systems from heterogeneous language components.
