And don't forget that this is just a wrong argument! When it comes to Ada you
always hear "Well it takes time and money to leard a new langauge". Now let me
ask some questions :

   - What was the cost of learning C++ ?
   - What was the cost of learning Java/JSP/EJB/.../.../... ?
   - What was (will be) the cost of learning C# and .NET ?
   - What will be the cost of learning the next-super-mega-over-cool-language ?

I've never heard these arguments for other language that Ada, does it
really cost nothing ?

Pascal.
