- This thread is not about C versus Ada. I know that they are both fine
- languages, and I would choose either. In fact, I am definitely going to be
- using Ada in the future.
-
- This thread is about a bunch of lunatic making outrageous, unsubstantiated
- claims about what Ada can do for you. If I were to believe some of you, I'd be
- thinking that Ada can write my program for me. The guy who said he is working
- on critical weapons-related work with a team of inexperienced programmers tops
- the list: just as long as you are using Ada, you are fine, right?
-
- Give me a break! This sort of lunacy doesn't do Ada any good.
