Have you missed this great success story?

Have you missed this great success story?

[Vinzent 'Gadget' Hoefler]

Hey, what's up with you guys? Almost a week ago we landed on Titan and
nobody here cares?

<URI:http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object/index.cfm?fobjectid=33006&fbodylongid=1099>:

|The software is based on a top-down hierarchical and modular approach
|using the Hierarchical Object-Oriented Design (HOOD) method and, except
|for some specific low level modules, is coded in ADA. The software
|consists, as much as possible, of a collation for synchronous processes
|timed by a hardware reference clock (eight Hz repetition rate). In
|order to avoid unpredictable behaviour, interrupt-driven activities are
|minimised. Such a design also provides for better software
|observability and reliability.

I guess, a few links on Ada-Success stories could be updated ...

Some of us hope for technical rather than marketing content in
comp.lang.ada.  There is a separate mailing list for advocacy.

That would be the proper place for it.

Come on, it wasn't unreasonable to post it here.  Also, the article does have some technical content.

I guess my remark was poorly phrased.

I was not objecting to the posting, but to the complaint that nobody
had posted it before.

Yes, of course. I apologize if I disturbed you.

But considering that even good ol' Ariane 5 gets its regular thread
here, I didn't think it was way off-topic.

No do not. It was just fine.
