I did not say, that if you write in Ada you always do good programs, and if you write in non-Ada you write bad programs. I want to say, that Ada has some great features, that help programmer in his/her work. Features which Java/C++ doesn't have. >Switching to new language is business decision. >And for what? To have "better" language? What you mean by switching? Resing from one language and start all in new one? Here you are right. But I think about doing things concurrently. Maybe start from little project in other language (maybe Ada :)), if needed. I don't want to force you to change Java to Ada because this or that. If your company is doing well in Java, do it in Java. But there is a lot of projects, where it is better to write in Ada, and a lot of people, who like to write in Ada. -Mike ------------------------ Mike Nowak mailto: vinnie@inetia.pl
