I always find that logic quite bogous, as *true* C++ programmers are actually
quite rare too. If you are willing to train C (with // comments) programmers to
properly use C++, I don't see why you'd have qualms about training them to use
Ada instead.

However, I quite understand that Silly Valley is the next best thing to a lost
cause. Ada's most attractive to people who are in it for the long haul. How do
you sell Ada to folks who are only looking to cash out when the company goes
public?
