I Just wanna agree with you Robert,

and some comments...

I have been programming Ada now for 6 years and I've never seen a Ada
program being slower than C, not large programs anyway (maybe in the early
years on PC).
Maybe it was slow in the early years but know it's great.
You also get a good code that does'nt CRASH all the time because you did'nt
thought of... what's it called... pointer and other C-trash.
