Let's see, I have worked with software engineers who didn't know
Ada, and they were productive in Ada before they knew enough about the
application to make serious changes to existing code. (Literally, I
could take an Ada package spec and ask them to implement it, and any
discussion would be about data-types, real-time constraints, etc.)
On the other hand, it takes six to nine months to bring someone up
to speed in C++, if you are lucky.
So if I need an Ada software engineer, I'll talk about the
application domain in the ad. If I need a C++ programmer, C++ will be
a requirement.
