That is an interesting conclusion, from rather thin support in the article you cite. To me, the _entire_ substantive content of the article could be stated: C++ is no good, Eiffel is great. The rest was just noise, conclusions without evidence. It was certainly kind of the author to mention Ada, but to me that mention was more a dismissal, and "oh, sure, Ada is _aimed_ at serious software engineering, now moving right along to something important", not a recommendation.
