Its no use, folks.  Unix and C are the best operating system and language
the '70s ever built!  Regardless of the fact that C and its bastard C++
have had the price and time advantage over Ada, Ada just can't keep up. 
Remember, C is more popular than Ada, DOS/Windows than OS/2, and
Volkswagen than Porsche.  Please, recognize your failure and let C, DOS,
and Volkswagen have some room.  We will waste no more time with Ada, OS/2,
and Porsche.
