As per Richard Fairley (Software Engineering Concepts, 1985, Ch. 7,
Page 229), Ada is part of "the technology of software engineering".
The question, then, is not whether Ada constitutes a vehicle of
software engineering technology. The question is whether Ada is
to become an *obsolescent* software engineering technology, just
as COBOL did before it.
