"most serious programmers I'm met" is as much hearsay as the "common
knowledge
"comment you jumped on. The "please supply reference" argument is employed
too often
on CLA. The thread you high jacked offered reasons why Ada remains a minority
language.
The posters were quite clear to distinguish "fact" from "opinion". Usenets
for opinion, if you want
fact, or if you can't stand a differing opinion without jumping down
someone's neck, stick to
your reference books.
BTW, I've meet quite a few Ada programmers who believe the "urban myth", and
most of them
are so serious its scary.
