That's certainly true, but if complexity should refrain people using a
language, they should immediately stop programming with things like
VB.NET or C#. In comparison Ada is a lightweight language...
There is also the time element: you can take years to reach a 90%
knowledge of Ada, but it is a life-long, useful investment.
Think of your poor neighbours who must permanently buy and swallow
huge Microsoft books that get deprecated after three years...
