My favorite professor from college, Robert Dewar, used to joke about this very fact. He worked on this project, as well as the ADA spec it was based on. He always said he wouldn't fly in this plane since he was all too conscious of how many things could go wrong!
Ada is a great language. If the Perl programming market dried up over night it would be my next stop.
