Quality is more important than age. Sure, Ada's been around since 1980, which is
longer than C++ (1982) or Java (early 1990s). But it's a better choice.
I know people who would like to use Ada but are unable to find positions using
it. If you advertise it, they will apply.
Where we have hard data (they are hard to come by), they show that development
in Ada takes 1/2 the effort of development in C. So a claim that "it takes too
long" is false.
