I agree very strongly with this sentiment, and the other one which pointed
out the lower pay scales for Ada. It would be great to find Ada projects
but there just don't seem to be any in Silicon Valley, and the few I've
seen have salaries at the very low end.

101 is now a speed limit, not the number of minutes it takes to travel 10
miles :-).

Indeed. And all of this talk of switching to C++ for weapons systems is
scary. I guess we can be thankful that the DOD hasn't switched to Perl,
yet...
