It's also an attribute of managerial pressures and marketing idiots.
This, perhaps as much as anything, leads to poor quality code.  Many of
the short cuts you can take in other languages don't exist in Ada
(privates, packaging, and particularly the typing mechanism) so that
such pressures don't propogate themselves into the code as easily as
they can with C and other languages.
