Which only goes to show how ignorant _you_ are!

Ada is a far stricter language than say the petty C language.  Therefore
problems like programcrashing, buffer overflows etc. is far less than in
C and and other
do-whatever-you-feel-like-but-don't-expect-it-to-be-stable programming
languages.

There is so much crappy crashing software out there and it is about time
that there is a change.
