While C may have nothing in common with Ada, it still fair game for
attach since C is more used than Ada, and Ada'ites would rather see Ada
used where C is being used.  You don't see the C-Ada comparisons in
comp.lang.c, it appears C programmers aren't afraid of Ada taking over.
However, I dare say (flame-retardant suit is on) that C would be used in
many places that Ada is if it weren't forced by the government or higher
management.  Those it may be theorized that the Ada world is worried
about C taking over.
