It may certainly be true that most Ada projects (certainly large ones)
require interfaces to external code written in other languages. You're
also correct in saying that this condition does not make Ada an
incomplete language. In fact, I believe that the ability to easily 
integrate code written in other languages with Ada code is one of the
big strengths of Ada. It's vitally important to me because I'm
developing a Motif application in Ada.
