I have 25+ of programming exp= erience - always as a hobby, though (and some shareware). The reason I turned to Ada was that I needed a fast language but C and C++ = are too error-prone for my style of programming. Moreover, I only have limi= ted time, making small changes here and there with long breaks in between, = and Ada's self-documenting nature fits very well with that.=20 When I don't need so much speed I'm mostly using Racket, though.
