I think Ada is a wonderfull language also. However in the commerical world,
when I tell my boss that I'd like to write something in Ada, they refuse,
they want me to use C or Perl or Java or C++.

Even co-workers, who are all C-type programmers (sorry, no offense intended),
look funny at me when I suggest we try Ada. I tried one time to argue
technical detailes with a supervisor about the language and to compare
it to C, but he was not interested to even listen.

So, I am sitting here debugging C code where I would be much happier (and also
more productive) using Ada, but I need to pay the rent as they say.

Billy
