• Not Ada for Ada’s sake
• Not a mandate
• Means to an end
• Because it makes sense

From the Script: SLIDE 44 - Why Ada?

Ada can and should be used when appropriate:

• Not because it is Ada but because of its capabilities.
• Not because it is mandated but because it recommends itself.
• Ada is not an end in itself but a means to an end.
• Simply because it makes sense to make a smart decision that saves time and money. [Guidelines, p. 5-5]
