Yes, Roedy reminds me of Liberace: a tremendous talent if a tad 
gaudy:-) And remember, it's a tongue-in-cheek piece:

"Avoid Ada : About 20% of these techniques can't be used in Ada. 
Refuse to use Ada. If your manager presses you, insist that 
no-one else uses it, and point out that it doesn't work with 
your large suite of tools like lint and plummer that work around 
C's failings."

I'd say Ada helps me avoid a good 50% of the ways to write 
unmaintainable code. I have to face the other 50% in peer 
review:-)
