(This is the same reply I posted a few minutes ago, but with a more
informative header)

I would be interested in hearing about "developer's remorse" as well.
What I'm looking for is any info regarding projects that probably
should be using Ada but have chosen Brand X instead, and whether or not
Brand X is proving to be a better, equal or worse choice.

BTW, Brand X could be any language, but I suspect it would usually be C
or C++.
