If anyone out there is struggling with their organization to retain
(or introduce) Ada as an alternative to C++, consider this:

    http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/portable-cpp.html

Imagine what Ada's detractors would be saying if writing portable
Ada code was as restrictive as writing C++ code is these days!

Other aspects of the Mozilla project may provide interesting
insights concerning the impact of language choice on project
success; for example, it would be interesting if some study
could determine the percentage of Mozilla bugs related to the
those characteristics of C/C++ infamous for bug-o-genesis.
