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.
