Or just using it as a soap box from which to rant. :-)

Mostly, its because I think it is a complete waste of time to look at 
jobs going to C++ and opine over how they rightly should be done in Ada. 
What are we doing to get Ada *into* those jobs? If Ada is really so 
great and the guys who are picking C++ are such boneheads, then it 
really must be possible to start a company aimed at developing avionics 
computers that would just blow the doors off of the competition, right? 
They're just a bunch of boneheads who are picking the high cost, long 
schedule option for no better reason that this is what is "popular", 
right? Idiots like that ought to be *easy* to out-compete on the bidding 
of the jobs - if Ada really produces that much extra leverage. We'll be 
knee deep in $$$ by noon tomorrow, right? Or is our confidence in Ada's 
superiority not so high?

Down off my soap box now. ;-)
