Many military/industrial complex satellites: NASA has designated
Ada as the language of choice for any space station and many future projects,
the aircraft industries want a single language, and quite a few other
companies.  You won't find many of them reading the net.  The alternative
is to have all these companies using "the thousand languages" the DOD
found.  It's a good question otherwise.
