Subject: Why won't people use Ada?
Date: 24 Feb 93 04:36:39 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sBLgZB1w165w@netlink.cts.com> (raw)
I'm trying to collect reasons (serious, snide, humorous, humorless, etc.)
on why people say they don't, won't, or can't use Ada. Please e-mail
your responses to me. I'm trying to put together a paper, of which this
will form part of one section, on perceptions of Ada's place in our world
of computing.
If there is any interest, I'll be happy to post or e-mail a collection of
reasons I receive.
I already have some reasons, so I don't need repeats of them:
- Ada's ten years old and hasn't kept up with modern programming
methods.
- Ada's too {big, clumsy, complicated, hard to learn}.
- Our people already know how to program in {C, C++, Modula, Pascal, ...}
and it would be too {expensive, time-consuming, difficult, ...}
to have them learn another language.
- Ada compilers are too {expensive, time-consuming, difficult, ...}.
- Real programmer's don't use Ada!
