From
   The Engineering of Software
   Hamlet & Maybee, Addison Wesley, -2001-!


   "Ada is Pascal based, but it is a complex language
    designed by committee for the military, and that's
    at least three strikes against it."


Also says that Ada is still mandated for use by the U.S.
Dept. of Defense, and that it is not well supported on
P.C.s


Sigh.
