Well, I do have some...
I come to think that Ada is *more* appropriate for small, non critical
projects than for its traditional market.

If you have big, highly critical projects, you'll have the money to
spend time and run tools that prove that the project can't fail
irrespectively of the programming language. If you don't have the money,
then the added value of Ada's checks provides a much bigger added value.
