this job listing is trying very hard not to reveal that they want to hire you to make missiles kinda like how Uber doesn't advertise any of their jobs as being for Uber's self-driving cab division (you know, the one that has killed at least one person) they're hiring for a "autonomous ride-hailing service" I don't work for ABC companies: and the annoying thing is that some of these companies know that there's people like me and are trying to hide the fact that they're hiring for ABC jobs |
it's not about the language itself, mind you: Ada is a perfectly fine language, even if I don't know it.
It's that the people who want you to know Ada are the people who thought it should be required for all new programming projects, like the department of defense
