This is one of the best statements I have seen.
Moreover, after spending some time in the mixed SW/HW environment, I would never assume engineers from other domains to be less competent than software engineers. On the contrary, I'm happy they they actually do not share our anti-practices and general disregard to work rigor, of which I have seen too much in software already.
Note also that software engineering world, especially in the industrial and critical domains, is slowly (?) drifting towards model-based techniques. Not only in some sense we are catching up with the culture that our colleagues from other domains cultivated long before us, but it actually makes the advantages of Ada increasingly irrelevant. The choice will be no longer between C and Ada, but rather between Python (or similar) and Simulink (or similar - I'm referring to mindsets, not the actual products).

I very much prefer properly designed PLC solution than some random crap disguised as source code, even in the best of languages.
