well of course - that was the mandate from the ministry of defence when ada was selected as
the language of choice - you had to be able to write, oh say, a million lines of code and have
it pretty much work first time.

just last week, i tried to do write the same million lines in C then C++ and got lots of
errors.  ;-)
