Just remember that C didn't have compilers for all of these when it was only
3 years old.  Give it time.


We also have to keep the goals of the languages clear.  C was intended to be
a replacement for assembly language and Ada* is for very long liked Real
time applications.  C has changed a lot and so has Ada.

Both languages have their place and will continue to be use for quite a
while.
