Way to go, Jack. He's expressed his frustration with C before, but
never like this.
Some of the responses are just so typical. Stop whining. Learn
discipline. Don't limit my technical prowess. Cars can hurt people,
should we stop driving too? (talk about a broken analogy!) Not
stated, but sensed: wha'samatta, ain't you MAN enough for C?
What surprises me, though, are the number of responses that agree with
him.

Notice that one of his peeves is "The language should simply
not permit leaks;", which Ada does not solve.
Another is allowing multiple indirections, when you have
pointers to pointers. Ada permits this as well, of course.
Another is free-formatting of source code ("C has no formatting
rules"). Ada allows the same freedom.

Anyway, if i read some of the responds to the article if feel
that there is a strong desire for some language like Ada.
