There is no language that produces software that works "more right" than another. Software is either right or it is not. Ada may have a great debugger but VMS types will argue all day about how much better the debuger is on the VAX but I dont see tons of UNIX folks in VMS classes. The only reason Ada still exists at all is that someone pushed the pentagon brass a few years back and convinced the military that it was such a good thing, and that ada was the wave of the future. I've seen just as buggy code come from ada programmers as I have from fortran programmers. C programmers of course dont write buggy code -ever- >and >Adjunct faculty member at the University of Dayton (which uses Ada as its >core CS language) > Adjunct means that your not qualified to be hired full time??
