Well..That could not hurt but in my experience on a mdium sized project with a >100,000 SLOC Ada portion (with a fairly heavy documentation set / formal test set associated with it, plus embedded and tough real time contraints) and another >40,000 SLOC C part with very light documentation and almost no embedded real-time, the Ada side had slightly better overall SLOC per day productivity and problem density numbers but management is running from Ada as fast as they can into the mouth of C and Java.. Even worse, if you looked at the standard tools you would think we were a web page developer company (Java, Front Page, etc) when > 90% of the work is embedded. On the bright side once all of the projects eventually move over to C and Java I will have no reason to stay at the company and I can leave and get a pay raise!
