- RA> out there hear this: Goverment can produce GREAT software--
- RA> ADA is far superior
- RA> to any bastard hack like C or C++ that AT&T (a private
- RA> industry) ever developed!
-
- I have NO experience with ADA; however, my experience with other
- seasoned programmers from the DC area is that ADA is much like the
- United States government, in that it is a large language that takes you
- a long time in to get something done. Does this statement hold any
- truth?
-
- ADA also happens to be designed by committee. I know for a fact that
- this NEVER works with software. The best software is developed by lone
- wolf or small teams.
-
- I'd just like to hear some thoughts on this issue.
