 Celko has been around for quite a while.  He usually writes
 about database topics.  His enmity towards Ada has been published
 before in ComputerWorld and elsewhere.  

 Just chalk it up to an unfortunate case of a very ignorant
 man making pronouncements about something he does not know
 anything about.  Sadly, his rantings are widely read and he
 is a good enough writer that he can influence people toward
 the same irrational assessment of Ada that he has made.
