The article is not on SlashDot, its on the ACM Queue and says nothing bad
about Ada.  Unless you are offended by article say it wasn't the
end-all-be-all, fix-all-your-problems language many hoped it to be.  The
point being, no language--however great--is going to fix all your woes.  The
only negative thing I read in the comments made some incorrect comments
about its library.  Replies to which, corrected the OP.  Not everyone who
reads SlashDot is uneducated or biased (though I would take being called a
"hacker" a compliment).  Ada's a tool, not a religion.  I use it a lot at
work, but I also use several other languages where needed (needed is not
always equal to "what you would like to use").
