Professor John H. Carson was quoted in Computer Design june -85.
He speaks about strong typing in different languages and says:

	- C is a language for consenting adults
	- Pascal is a language for children when you don't want
	  them to be naughty
	- Ada is a language for criminals

Well, I would say it another way:

	- Ada is a language for software engineers
