It might. When I first encountered Ada in college, I hated it, partly
because of a very bad compiler (a slow horror that tried to correct
errors by inserting random tokens under VM/CMS). Now that I've had
some experience with maintaining large programs hacked on by many
people over the years, I start to appreciate a lot of the Ada
philosophy.
