But can you do it without feeling guilty?  ;-)   

There's something about Ada that makes me fully aware when I'm just
hacking, and fully aware when I'm doing The Right Thing.  If a person
hacks a lot, and doesn't like being reminded of that fact by their
language, then perhaps it's a guilt avoidance reaction that makes them
avoid Ada?
