Perhaps you should pick up a copy of Peter Middleton's and James
Sutton's "Lean Software Strategies".  They make the same argument with
respect to purely technical factors, but then go on to recommend Ada as
the most appropriate language for the strategies they promote based on
its contribution to the integrity of the software production process.
The latter is a value that they rate as much, much more important than
sheer technical characteristics (contributing something like 40% vs 5%
to project outcomes).
