Perhaps, but I think that there is a lot to be said for adopting an Ada
like style in C (and C++) and selecting books which demonstrate how this can 
be done is helpful for Ada programmers learning C. The comp.lang.c{++}.* 
newsgroups probably don't have the same ratio of people who know Ada and 
C/C++ as comp.lang.ada, since C and C++ are so much more popular. 

Anyone who knows Ada and not C is likely to have to learn it, and C++ too.
It turns out that in the space of programming languages, Ada and C++
occupy a very similar position.
