If the praises of ADA have to be sung, the cacophony should take place in net.lang (or net.lang.ada, if it exists). Why should ADA and the trumpeting of its name be forced on those of us who aren't interested in it? After all, most programmers that I know of are not writing code for direct use in DOD systems. Speaking of DOD-forced standards, remember that it was the DOD that gave us the wonders of COBAL!
