Wow, got kind of defensive there, didn't you!  I mean, his question was 
simply, "Why learn Ada rather than Java?"  I'm kind of interested in that 
myself.  But you didn't answer the question; you just reacted to a perceived 
slight.

This is the same kind of answer you get when you ask an Amiga user why you 
would buy a PC, or a Macintosh user....
