Hmm... yes, I'd be interested to see who uses Ada by choice. I've
been trying to use it for months now and really trying to keep an
open mind about it, but I really, honestly haven't been able to
see any merit in the language whatsoever. I'm more familiar with
functional and interpreted languages than imperative compiled ones
so maybe I'm just looking for the wrong things. Is there an FAQ
that might give some clues as to what aspects of Ada provide
programmers with a sense of freedom, or even with a sense that
the language has some .... no...   a   redeeming quality.
