Good program design and implementation are much more an >attribute of the programmer than the implementation language. 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. -- Harry Koehnemann koehnema@enuxha.eas.asu.edu
