I find that the flexibility often lends itself to very clear designs.

Here and there I have been working on a cross platform set of GUI
classes. By combining a number of different methods of design I created
a very fluid and easy to use set of classes. (I will set up a project
page for the classes soon in the Ada Lab - http://www.adapower.com/lab
once I finish off a couple dead lines)

If Perl is the duct tape of programming languages, Ada is the Rambo
knife of engineering. (OK maybe swiss army fit better ...)
