To me Kevin, what you write sounds plenty like so much
bullshitting. It's less that you oppose Ada and advocate C++ but the
way you do it.

I still think that in reality the case against C++ as vs. for Ada is
not as clear cut as many here think since other factors beside the
language itself have to be taken into consideration -- but whereas I
hopefully have been trying to explain my reasoning you're just
bragging about how much better you supposedly are than the average of
the industry and spouting so much nonsense (you're not even using the
word "type safe" right).

I can't get rid of the impression that -- as a programmer -- you're
actually rather immature and rather full of yourself.

Learn humility.
