- Now now, Ada isn't all that bad, especially nowadays (see the current
- CACM issue focus on Ada). I used to program in Ada (for about a year, in '86-
- '87). The Amiga actually has a better fit to Ada than many machines do, with
- a low-overhead tasking model (many people using Ada avoid tasking due to the
- overhead with spawning processes on most Unixes, or worse yet VMS).
