It is normal and common thing, this difference. For example, if I have 1 hour and entirely foreign program of 10K lines of code and I must try to diagnose a bug in it and install a temporary hack - then I wish that program be in C/C++ (not in Ada) - just because both C and C++ are *better readable* than Ada. But if I have 2 weeks and must provide robust permanent upgrade - then certainly I wish it be in Ada - for the same reason: Ada is *better readable* that C or C++. That's it.
