That just sounds like personal bias.

  It is technical bias based on technical fact. Am I or am I not correct in the technical claim that languages exist, like Ada, which decrease certain error classes and eliminate others entirely? Go ahead and actually support why C/C++ produces more verifiable and secure code than Ada?

    It may be true that Ada reduces or removes some types of software engineering errors, but that is not the only goal when choosing a language. Why did the military move away from Ada if it's a silver bullet?

      > Why did the military move away from Ada if it's a silver bullet? The US military doesn't develop software. They also have very little choice over who does. The entire system is a convoluted mess of lowest bidders and inept contractors. So it is ultimately up to the lowest bidder what they want to develop in. There just isn't enough incentive to develop high quality, low in bugs, software for them.
