but but but, code REUSE is what will make time-to-market much smaller.

Ada is one of the best languages for designing code reuse, which means
if you want very short time-to-market, then Ada is one of the best choices.

Untill they see that code reuse == profit and shorter time-to-market.

of course, writing packages with the idea of REUSE requires more time
and effort, but it will soon pays of (in the next project).
