Folks,
You know, this whole discussion of whether Ada is "good" or not (and concurrent
discussions of Ted Holden) are somewhat useless. I don't think that we will
ever convince poor Ted that Ada has a usefulness in the world. I don't think
we need to. I have worked in both Ada and C environments and most of the
problems were just bad engineering, not a nuance of the language. I have
tended to react to this argument in the same way that I reacted the first time
I walked into my horse's stall: first I was offended by the smell; but then
later on, I just ignored all the stuff, because I understood the source of the
inconvenience.
Regards,
John
P.S.: We have opted for C++ instead of Ada because someone said that you could
write "elegant" code in C. I love these technically decided issues.
