Sure - just getting started with the req's definition.  GRASS led me
to the same conclusion wrt Ada - GIS & Ada seemed to be a really good
match.  More important to me is being able to maintain the damn thing
over time - C++ allows me to get into way too much trouble :>)

I would recommend that to anyone including NN's, fuzzy logic and
genetic algorithms.  Pretty powerful techniques with many practical
applications across just about every discipline I can think of.
