Ada is the F14. Expensive, works well, but ya really just don't need it most of the time.

So what's the F/A-18?

I almost said Javascript out of ubiquity, but it'd be a grave insult to the plane. Java is a good answer, maybe C#, maybe Python. The language needs to be one that gets a lot of work done, and is reliable.

What's a language that's just always got your back in a situation? That's the F/A18.

Maybe Java? It's everywhere, can fulfill just about any role you throw at it, but isn't really the world's absolute best tool for most of those roles.

It's written in Ada, if memory serves. ;-)
