This comment, from someone who doesn't even know how to spell Ada! 
(Perhaps you were refering to the crafters of the Americans with
Disabilities Act.  Or maybe to the American Dental Association.)

If you don't know Ada, then you obviously wouldn't understand why it's the
language of choice for safe, reliable systems.  Perhaps the programmers who
voted Ada as the "best" language know something you don't, eh?

Why don't you find out for yourself?  There's a free, high-quality Ada
compiler, GNAT, available at NYU's ftp site.  And you can find out lots o'
cool stuff about Ada by visiting the Ada home page.
