Does it really? This is surely a very important question.

C# may have lots of fancy features that Ada 95 doesn't, but I suspect it
may well have some weaknesses compared to Ada 95. Nevertheless, where there
is a choice, should the discerning software engineer now choose Ada or C#?

This thread IS NOT to become a language warzone. Keep it factual,
objective, polite, and concise.
