But as all languages Ada does have its weak points as well. But over time with each new release of the specs the language will grow to an even better language. As for Eiffel, well like PASCAL it was designed as a teaching tool. Eiffel extends the tools for the educator to handle OOPs where PASCAL does not. And like PASCAL, there are some who have introduce the language real world, but just like PASCAL, they should left it is the educational world. Then again, I think schools should have their own OS that the general public can not purchase. Forcing the general public to learn to choose an OS they want, the best OS for the job they are using the system for, instead of just forcing everyone to learn Windows. Because there is no perfect OS.
