I don't entirely disagree but when face with an answer like "Sorry you can't
do that [in Ada]" a
person asking such a question will go off and say well I better do that in C
then when in reality all of the
problems you bring up would exist there as well....Your answer was not "No
do it this way instead" but
rather "You can't do that". I suspect following that advice I could convince
myself that I can not write any software
so perhaps I should be a gardener. (After all, Hello World will not work on
an embedded machine with no display so it is clearly not possible to write
Hello World in Ada)
