When presented with fact, you spew forth vacuities. Of course the
studies are prominently displayed at an advocacy page. That in no
way diminishes their content, unless you didn't really bother to
read them. If you were as familiar with their content as you
purport, you would note that the studies were largely NOT funded by
the DoD. This is especially true of the Zeigler C/Ada results (the
second URL provided), which has nothing to do with the government
whatsoever and shows quantitatively that Ada is more productive than
C.
I'm not surprised you had difficulty with Ada. It requires thought.
