This, if true, is a fault of the Ada culture not of the language.
Is it true? My experience in the Ada culture has been that we have a
lot of work to do, and fun projects like pre-processors have to
compete with bread-and-butter projects.
An Ada tool that worked like yacc, and put out tables for the guidance
of a driver program (presumably written in Ada), would not be met with
ruthless hostility.

Chris
