Ada, of course. Are you saying it wasn't at the forefront of your mind? If I sound patronizing it's because I am.

As I said elsewhere, Ada does have some very nice built-in advantages, but I think my point stands: the language is a small part of the entire SDLC, and I don't think it's the most important part.

The focus on languages instead of the SDLC is telling, I think.
