Just got my Britannica DVD 2000 and look what comes up:
"Ada is similar to Pascal but contains many additional features that are
convenient for the development of large-scale programs. Because of its
abundant features, however, ordinary users may feel awkward using Ada. Thus,
Ada has not been widely used in programs other than those for the Department
of Defense."
I certainly find Ada easier then Java, C or C++ particularly when it comes
time to read some one else's code ;-)
