I always like to tease the hardware guys doing VHDL and tell them that it is just Ada but without comments or version control and with everything done in upper case. To which they respond that no, VHDL is more like Ada code but without the bugs. ...And yes this post is (on both comments) not intended to be taken too seriously.. (Of course I can just see the "Ah ha, so you admit you can write bugs in Ada posts coming :)
