One of the key features of Ada95 is the ability to interface languages such
as Fortran and C. In my own domain of scientific computing there is a vast
pool of reuseable components (BLAS, LAPACK, MPI,...) that can be used with
advantage.

Ada95 is a superb "gluing" language and it would a pity to lose this
feature.
