No, I'm not. And that's obviously NOT Ada's fault. A related problem not in
the list (or I missed it) is:
"Specs written by semi-FORTRAN-educated engineers who don't know the difference
between requirements and implementation."
Which means that programmers have to try to persuade management that "searching
a monstrous array of characters for a particular substring and using that
substrings location in a computed GOTO" is not really a requirement.
