Ada is also a programming language designed by apes. The only difference is that Ada is designed by a group of apes. My company uses Ada and mandates the use of Ada not because it is simply labelled "The Best", but according to the real fact that Ada fits into our business model, our future vision and the confidence Ada has given us. We had extensive research, testing, evaluation before we jumped into Ada wagon. I don't see Ada as "The Best" neither do the rest of my colleagues but we know that Ada is best for our job. Although my company mandates the use of Ada, we are still free to use other languages like C if only one can provide hard evidence that C is better than Ada in that particular scope of project. Ada is still top in our priority. Adrian Hoe Just my 2 cents, not my employer's. "David C.
