I just started a new project where I work, and I'm using Ada. It's
about as different from an air traffic control system as you can get.
I'm going to be using Ada to interrogate a MySQL database and push the
resulting reports to a web server on our in-house network. I'm running
a 2-person shop, and the other guy only does Crystal Reports, so I
need all the help I can get from my programming language. I don't want
to waste time and effort on fighting both C and SQL. Ada and I can
gang up on SQL and beat it into submission.
