I'm still interested in hearing if any of those who have switched from
Ada to The Radiant Future of language X are finding that there's
trouble in paradise X.  It seems that if there is trouble in paradise X
then we Ada advocates should be sure and document it for the benefit of
others who are considering such a switch, or who are simply evaluating
languages.  OTOH, if everybody is happy as a clam using X then I guess
we need to rethink some of our assumptions.
