The world is starting to catch up with Ada. Software
“glitches” are becoming less and less acceptable…

Building new, safe, reliable systems from scratch is
expensive

Especially when you don’t use the appropriate tools

Our mission is to help people build software
that matters

How do we do this?(This is not a product
presentation)

Busting myths - Ada is certainly not dead- Ada is a very solid, mainstream language in the safety critical world
- It has a strong and passionate community
- This community takes it through regular updates

Busting myths – Moving the mountain- Ada 2012 is raising a lot of interest beyond Ada users
- Supporting modern architectures – ARM, Raspberry Pi, etc.
- Bringing Ada to younger, grass-roots communities – drones, maker, etc.
- Tools like QGen bring Ada to the world of Simulink
- SPARK brings formal methods to non-Ada developers

Busting myths – Ada is only used in A&D- Business is developing beyond traditional A&D market
- We see interest from new markets such as rail, automotive and industrial automation
- We see massive interest coming from the automotive industry
- We see a lot of interest from the C/C++ community

Busting myths - Ada has a strong ecosystem
- Long ago we had a compiler…
- We still have that compiler but it has grown into a full development environment with complimentary tools
- The ecosystem has realigned itself to support customer needs
- Tool and RTOS partners are seeing increased revenue from Ada
