For a response more in line with your political philosophy, try this possibility: The military are the only ones who have a tough time finding people to take their Ada programming jobs. Another consideration is that if you are opposed to firing a weapon at someone is that you should be equally opposed to having a weapon fire by accident. Ada is designed to avoid program errors. Until you have eliminated weapons (the topic of a different newsgroup, please), the ones we have should be under control. Larry Kilgallen programming in Ada for 11 years without military involvement
