Sorry, folks, software isn't here solely for your mental gymnastics
and personal fulfillment. I know it sometimes seems that way at
school...
If you want reasons why Ada helps you build reliable, large, nay,
_huge_ software systems, then crack open Booch's Software Engineering
with Ada, or Shumate's Developing Large Real-Time Systems in Ada.

p.s. Does painting on oil and canvas limit an artist's expressive power,
or does it provide focus for their expression? Michaelangelo's
Sistine Chapel and Chagall's ceiling of the Paris Opera show what
genius can do when constrained by his medium (i.e. painting on a
ceiling). Various works by uncsonstrained contemporary artists
show what kind of horrid stuff can result when you impose no
limitations at all.
