I've been handed a project, but I'm not a programmer, much less an Ada
programmer. The idea is a Windows test station sandbox where arbitrary
applications can be executed, but cannot make system changes or
transmit data.

I have two primary voice on my team, one is calling for J# as the .NET
framework will allow for "faster development and provides important
security features" and the other is calling for Ada because "safety is
the primary concern and it's cheaper to build it right the first
time."

Obviously these two choices are dramatically and I am leaning toward
J#, because, to be perfectly honest I've never been involved in an Ada
project before that wasn't hardware execution, embedded system, etc.
and that leaves my a little prejudice about it's place.

All things being equal, is it silly to utilize Ada in this manner? If
I could trouble any of you for arguments for and against would be
appreciated. I don't want to go too deep or heated or anything like
that, I'll need to decide, really by Monday.

Thank you!

Rob
