Re: Use of "C/Ada" -- the C dialect of Ada

[kassover@jupiter.crd.ge.com (David Kassover)]

With respect to Mistress Ada:
 
I am *amused*.  But I did have to check which newsgroupt I was
reading.
 
 
I use Ada for two predominant reasons:
 
	1.  The project I am working on (the one I am paid to
	    work on) has it in the requirements document.
 
	2.  Ada protects me from lot's of time consuming,
	    embarrassing mistakes of the sort that the C people seem to waste
	    most of their productive time finding (let alone correcting)


#2 is very important to the professional who is producing
software to be used by others.  I may or may not mind being
protected from myself, but the users must be protected from me.
