It'll be in actual requirements in a couple more years, probably. And then it'll be forgotten like Ada before it.
- martinky24 2y agoThere are lots of big government contractors (Raytheon, etc) still writing and maintaining a lot of Ada.

They miss the fact we aren't in 1980's any longer, Infosec and pentesting is standard procedure before deployment in many industries, insurances and companies now have a ball in the game regarding cibersecurity and nation state sponsored attacks.
