I must agree here.

You may even see me writing prototypes in Ada, where the final product
has to be written in Basic, C or Java - or even implemented in a
spreadsheet.

I still do some prototyping in Bash, but this is mostly because I
haven't found/written a suitable library for connecting non-Ada tools to
my Ada programs in a (writing) efficient way.

At the moment I'm working on a prototype where the production version
most likely will be written in assembly or some highly processor
specific language by the customer.  But Ada is very practical for
writing algorithms in a readable form.

Greetings,

Jacob
