Some baggage never gets lost...
This idea that development in Ada is more expensive than in other
languages must be challenged whenever we come across it. The tool
costs can be very reasonable and in my experience (and others' as
well) programmer productivity can be extremely high indeed.
All other things being equal, in a contest between highly-skilled Ada
programmers and highly-skilled C programmers, I'll bet on the Ada
people to produce the final code faster.
