What's contradictory between the ideas (1) "Ada programmers make as well or even
better than C/C++/Java/VB programmers" and (2) "there is hardly any
positions open for Ada programmers and the few that are open are in
insignificant amount compared to the rest" ?
If would be contradictory if there would be a link between the efficiency
of a programming language and the its selection for IT projects. In fact
this selection is driven by everything but efficiency, mainly:
a) crowd effect, rumors, <<everybody uses xyz>>
b) conservatism, fear of abstraction at expense of portability
c) compatibility with existing sources, no language mixtures
d) availability of commercial tools, which depends heavily on a) - d) !
You have a nice feedback that's not converging to quality or efficience...
