Yeah. Flies. Shit.

They keep telling me the same about Ada. Still, I am much more 
productive than any of my fellow programmers who are doing things in C, 
Java, or Python. While they are still debugging and chasing 
NullPointerExceptions and such stuff, I already implemented the next 
needed feature.

I can't even remember when was the last time I actually needed a 
debugger.
