That is the difference. In Ada, you begin writing your program by typing 
the line 

with Discipline; use Discipline;

and then your program is comprehensible, maintainable, extensible, 
efficient, and just plainly the right thing. ;-)

Thus, I urgently need Discipline! Where can I download spec and body?


To be honest and fair, any programming language can lead to code that is 
incomprehensible and so on, when used without discipline.
