Sadly, defense shops with deep pockets gave up on VMS a long time
ago and I see no reason they might consider coming back.

But my understanding is that so has Ada usage - DoD are
going with more standard solutions when possible. So some
of the code for the new F-47 may be written in Ada, but
if DoD want a system to track paperclips usage, then they
will do the same as BigBizInc.

A few years ago, would that have been called the F-45 ?

As for the programming language, the code is probably going to be written
in Orange (which will be the bestest programming language ever :-) )
