And thats why there is no use discussing :-)

If all your programmers use one style consistently
and all your subprograms are neat and small and if
you use enough and regular whitespace to make the
code easily inspectable by the "program-physician's"
pattern matching eyes (like the doctor looks at x-rays),
yet you write like

 procedure Inacceptable is
    begin
       if A > B then
          Work_With (A);
          A := B;
       else
          Work_With (B);
          B := A; end if; end Inacceptable;

because you and the others have been brought up
on LISP, I'm pretty sure there will be Ada peoble
pointing at you.
