Ok, I assume with "Google" you are here referring to Google's take on
"Artificial Stupidity".
Any way, I can express my thoughts on this just fine by myself.
(Free)DOS is a very, very tine piece in the overall software/operating
system "market". And within that, the number of people interested in Ada
itself is also minuscule. So I don't think you can seriously expect
loads of enthusiastic responses to your project.
Speaking for myself, I kind of like Ada, and I used it at some point in
the 80s professionally. But it is not something that I am overly
enthusiastic about. I am "interested", in general.
And I am also, in general, interested in DOS as a programming
environment. Also I think that DOS is a perfect environment for learning
programming and various programming languages, as it allows to focus on
the languages itself instead of all the fluff that comes with other
operating environments. That's why I am also NOT very enthusiastic about
things like gcc, DJGPP or other monstrosities that are trying to
shoehorn programming environments from other operating environments onto
(Free)DOS.
