I found this on the page you referenced:

"In quarter 3, Mr. Adrian Hoe, now the director of Research and Development
division of Lexical Integration (M) Sdn Bhd, suggested to adopt Ada as the
primary programming language. The motion was immediately approved by the
management and the marketing team"

You guys sure have some englightened and forward thinking management over
where you work! 

here, if you suggest Ada, you have to run for cover quickly to avoid things
being thrown at you from hitting your head :)  

Management only knows C/C++/Java. You could even mention perl and not get
more strange looks than if you had mentiond Ada. But ignorance is a bless,
and we have to put up with such management. Lucky you to have such managers.
