My bad... I will not be doing any coding on this project. I have been
dropped in to get the client's/investor's/internal technical teams all
on the same page as there has been much bickering. So far good
progress has been made on a number of points, but this one has thrown
me as it flies in the face of my experiences with Ada development and
I just wanted a to hear a few more voices on the subject before the
next meeting and subsequent decision.

So, how would you sell an executive on or against Ada (or C#) for this
particular use?

Thanks,

Rob
