F-35 Cancelled, then what ?

• The PowerPC is mainly used in the Xbox360 but not the PS3. I believe the Chinese have copied for their 'homegrown' cpu.
  
• The operating system in the F-35 is a Real Time OS from Green Hills software.
  
• Moore's law is almost coming to an end, its getting very difficult to shrink much further and its not a given that the issues can be overcome.
  
• The solution to upgrading processing power is not to add faster/newer designs but to add more processors and share the processing load among them - the F-22 takes this approach. But how much extra processing power is going to be needed, after all FPGA are used in the F-35 and that technology has a lot of mileage in it.
  
• Ada was a disaster for development, apparently (some discussion of it on f-16.net).
