I agree too.  I just returned from a meeting with a student of mine
who is working on
his "final project".  His duty is to develop (in Ada, of course) a
software for P2P live

tasks, protected
objects and so on...  While coming back to my office I tried to
imagine what a mess would
have been writing the software in C...
