   There is no (or shouldn't be ;-) "Java vs. Ada" debate. There
   already is an Ada 95 compiler that generates JVM code (so the Java
   platform hype can be reused for Ada ;-). And a Java back-end for
   GNAT is being developped. And since the interoperability level 
   between Ada 95 and Java is high, you can choose the language you 
   prefer if your target is the JVM.
