Ada is my first love, and it's been my primary language since 1985. Unfortunately, nobody has wanted systems built in Ada since the 1980s, so I've had to settle for Ada dialects such as PL/SQL and PL/pgSQL.I've had to code in the more modern languages as well, and given the contributions these languages make to project failures, I'm firmly of the opinion that if you want a large system built to last, build it in Ada.
