C'mon, be careful what you say. As a scientist/engineer, I do not want
anybody *mandating* the use of technology without clear *technical* proof
that that is in every case the best solution.
Whether you are an Ada fan, a Modula-II fan, a C fan or even open-minded,
it is very clear that the scientific community is not convinced that
Ada (or any language) is the best technology for all applications. Or
for any application.
