Actually, if you closely read what I posted, and my other postings, I both don't blame the Ada language itself for many DoD software problems and, like the language and recommends it use (otherwise I wouldn't have wasted a lot of my own money trying to start an Ada software reuse business). In fact, one of the most clearly understood Prolog interpreter I ever saw was written in Ada. My concerns always have been the unbusiness-like way the DoD runs the Ada software business. The day the Mandate goes away is the day I go away from posting to comp.lang.ada. Until then, someone has to accept responsibility for such dismal ratings as the Economist article implies.
