The Ada lang. aids the programmer to become a better programmer. But that 
means that the programmer must be willing to alter their bad habits and ideas 
on programming to a more pure and structured way of programming.  After 
which even debugging is a breeze compared to other languages.

The big conspiracy among academicians is pushing C++ and other languages,
were bad habits can become a cancer to the programmer/maintainers of any 
software package.
