Umm, yeah, whatever. I'm actually on the OP's side.
I wish he would be able to get Ada used on his project.
But from what he says, they embarked on a C++ project
without having staff who knew C++ well enough to use it,
are are still having fallout from that. I expect that
with that attitude, they would suffer the same problems
using Ada, because they would try to build an Ada project
using staff who didn't know Ada well enough.

Or is it your contention that even people who don't know
Ada can build a large successful project with it? If so,
I'll start right away!
