Two weeks ago, I posted an "Ada popularity poll" to the Usenet groups
net.lang and net.lang.ada. I had read a claim that "Ada is already the
preferred language in almost all American universities." Sixteen people
responded with an opinion of their university's CS department. The
results were:
0 A) prefer Ada above all other programming languages
2 B) view Ada as ONE of the preferred languages
3 C) like Ada, but prefer other language(s)
4 D) dislike Ada
7 E) not care/not use
It was hard to classify a few votes as "dislike" or "don't use:"
there's overlap between the categories. A few people thought the poll
should extend beyond CS departments. If you didn't respond because you
don't "represent" a CS department, send me your opinion anyway. If the
vote pattern changes significantly, I'll summarize again. At this
point, I the "preferred language" claim looks like wishful thinking.
Thanks for your help.
