Very true! I'm not sure if my previous response had a whole lot to do
with quality though. And, of course, deciding when you've reached "good
enough" can be a difficult task.
Of course (if we're going to get a language war going ;-) there are more
reasons for selecting Ada than issues of quality or reliability.
Depending on the mission, Ada has lifecycle cost advantages over some
other approaches. There are also fitness for a given purpose issues,
such as support for OOP, support for multitasking applications,
interfacing to other languages, interfacing to hardware, etc.
A lot depends on the nature of the project you have in mind.
