When designing distributed applications, consistency becomes more
important and harder to achieve.  If you have a pipe of three
programs, for instance, with a common data stream, it's hard to make
sure that a change to the data stream definition is adopted by all
three programs.  In our experience doing client/server in Ada, the
Ada compiler and library system (that so many people complain about)
is instrumental in keeping our distributed software in sync.
