Just to throw in my two cents at this point, I'd like to say that the
DOD hasn't completley "caved in" concerning Ada. I'm a cadet at the
United States Military Academy and we, the Naval Academy, and the Air
Force Academy are all taught Ada95 as computer science majors. Our
instructors point out on a regular basis that the reasoning behind
this is that Ada is one of the best OO languages available, and that
it encourages good technique in programming.
