The checking aspects of Ada can be very valuable even in small,
short term, projects. A few years ago I used Ada 9x to merge and
clean a database for a company that retails securities price
histories. Definitely a one shot, short term, smallish, deal, but
the checking features, including display of the source line that
raised an unexpected exception, was *extremely* helpful in purifying
some rather impure data. (Not to mention any of the other advantages
of Ada.)
