Many people have said that the gains we will see in our migration to
Ada will not come from the language itself.  Rather they will come from
the exposure to basic SE principles that will take place when learning
the Ada language, even if not from formal instruction.  It is interesting
to see an example of this.  I'd bet your C programs would look quite a
bit different now compared to C programs you had written before this
understanding.
