Put this in the balance, the conclusion is not obvious. Just some point here : - Ada learning curve is generally over estimated, because people expect a high level language to be mastered in about the same time than for C++. In Ada, your are able to fix alone problem in existing code and do simple addition very quickly. - Ada benefits are generally underestimated, because even experienced people don't trust the figures. They just expect some marginal benefits. - in our experience, language and related tools training is negligible compared to the the time to master the domain. -- Lionel Draghi
