Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ada King, Countess of Lovelace.

Usually someone further east beats me to this, but they've fallen down on the
job today.

"[I]t is easy to use [Ada] just like any other
language: using only predefined types, using
packages just for separate compilation (without
any consideration for information hiding),
ignoring generics altogether, etc. I have seen
projects doing this; they didn't get much
gain from using Ada, and spent a lot of time
fighting the compiler."
