The main problem is you have forgotten the golden rule the "Customer" or
group that is paying for the program sets the rules. If they say they
prefer non Ada then you should choose a language they like or they will
simply use someone else and you out of a job. Because most will say if
Microsoft does not support Ada, then we do not support Ada. And no matter
how many reasons you can give will every change most people minds.
