Not necessarily - in my case it depends on what I want to do. I'd say I have
more Ada experience than C although not as big a difference as yours, but If I
want something that is easy in Ada (e.g. it uses tasks or something like that)
then I'll do it in Ada - if it's easier in C, e.g. because I'm using system
calls that return objects with pointers to pointers in it, then I'll do it in C.
