Disagree!

I did Mechanical Engineering at University including Finite Element
analysis software in FORTRAN77. Now I think Ada is much better. I
respect the position that the wealth of F77 code gives it the advantage,
but it is simple to interface FORTRAN to Ada95. So for writing new code
I still say Ada is better!
