At least according to: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/16/german_code_breaker_defeats_colossus/
That's got to be worth some marketing mileage to the Ada community!
Well done Joachim, if you're reading this!!
Cheers

Choosing well the language has not being his only skill. See this
quote from http://www.reuters.com/article/mapNews/idUSL1665121720071116
| "It's a brilliant piece of work, really really impressive," said
| Andrew Clark, director of Britain's National Museum of Computing,
| which designed the challenge and is overseeing the running of
| Colossus, based at Bletchley Park outside London.

| "He's used a program that is highly optimized for this task and he's
| designed it very well.
