    Pascal> Why do they like fighting a language all the time 

People I have talked to avoid Ada because of the perception (real or
otherwise) that you have to fight the language all the time, and there
is only one way of doing things[1].

Not that I agree with this reasoning.

Notes:

[1] Unlike in, say Perl, where there are many ways of stating exactly
the same thing.
