Short answer:
C programmers write quickly and have lot of fun debugging programs.
The ultimate experience for the Ada programmer is to spend two days
getting the program through the compiler, but then it works like a
charm from the first run on.

* Ada programmers hardly know what a debugger is
* Ada programmers don't know the syntax of a make file
