They will. This language is already creeping into contract discussions, though nothing I've been party to has actually required dropping C or C++. It's making it into RFIs already. 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.

- firesteelrain 2y agoRFIs are great but if it’s not in the SOW then it’s a desirement and the contractor is correct to reject. RFI all they want - put it in the SOW and turn it into a requirement.
- pjmlp 2y agoC and C++ folks like to play Ada card, missing the fact that it didn't took off due to the price of compilers and the hardware to run them, coupled by cheaper C and C++ developer salaries. 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.
