[GAP] Use of Ada 2005

[Erhard Ploedereder]

Richard,

I have found more friends for Ada since I stopped insisting on it and
offered to listen to arguments.

The choice of C++/C is simply abhorrent to enough collegues that
it won't happen in places that are not driven by industry short-term 
demands. Functional languages and derivatives are nice, but dead in
industry and education. 

The "enemy" in education is Java. And it's a tough one. 
Performance and a lousy real-time model are its weak spots.
