The broad generalizations in Dewar's opinions are unhelpful. If you want to write software for military airplanes, then you should go ahead and learn Ada (whatever that is). If you want to build applications for the web or for "low-tech" enterprise, then you'll probably be better off learning Ruby, Python, Java et al. Both are perfectly viable ways of making a living and there is plenty of demand for both types of programmers.

It is the official (computer) language of the US army.
