Yes (he admits sheepishly). And yes, agreed.

But ... people have the strangest passions (climbing mountains, leaping out
of aircraft, standing for presidential election), and mine happens to be
building an Ada compiler. It's a bit like sex: if nobody did it, there would
be no more people! Well, somebody's got to build Ada compilers: if nobody
did it, there would be no Ada compilers.

Still munching on my Muchnick :-)
