  *Some* people know how to market things, and that it's
not just by strict logical analysis.
  If you were a reasonably proficient C/C++ programmer,
happy in your job, why on earth would you want to learn
some complicated new tool and change your programming
style and habits?  Clearly there's no short range
practical benefit, so it could only be psychological
reasons - curiosity, a drive for excellence, status, etc.
Is Ada currently marketed to such folks?
