One of the more respectable industry survery numbers he mentioned put Ada at
%10. That's obviously not a majority, but neither is it an insignificant number
that can be freely ignored, like he goes on to imply.
Then again, about %10 of all people are left handed like me, but everyone
building manually-manipuated objects acts like we don't exist either. So its not
like this annoying attitude is unique to this one author, or even programming
languages in general.
