That's quite possible.  In my artillery control software days, we tended 
to use C (systems: LTACFIRE and IFSAS), partly because we had a custom 
hardware platform without a validated compiler, and the second system 
was a port of the first.

I knew Ada, but I never admitted it if at all possible, because I hated 
Ada 83 with a passion.  Ada 95 has cleaned up most of the warts.
