I'm not sure if 'shares' is a typo or not, but it fits great with my impression of why companies choose the languages they do sometimes: everyone else uses it (it's the local culture/custom), and nothing/no one has forced them to change (by lowering their profits/share value).
- jacobush 9y agoIt was a typo, should have been "shores". However, it was a brilliant typo - the powers that be have decided on Greenhill and ClearCase. And the people who decide these things seem to be closer to the share holders than they are to us coders, so Ada missionaries on shares is maybe what it takes.
