C and C culture being what it is, I imagine
a LOT of them are. Much of the C code I've
seen gives the distinct impression that it
never had ANY implementation "decisions" except
those made when after it failed. Of course,
I can't say I've never seen Ada code like that. :-)
Considering the quantity of careless mistakes
I've seen in Ada--a language that discourages
them--how much better can it be in a language
that encourages them?
