Suits me since the superior avionics architecture (e.g. distributed
processors, less likely to suffer catastrophic damage in event of a hit,
can change one function without monkeying with unrelated functions) is
primarily Jovial.  Also, although I work both arenas, the Jovial code is
much more stable, easier to change without introducing intractable
errors, etc. than the Ada versions (so far).  Only problems are related
to insufficient memory size and processor throughput.  But I'm resigned
to the inevitable that it will only get worse in the future.
