Janina meant 'missiles'  as in big rockets that carry warheads or
astronauts. ADA was developed by the Department Of Defense and
was made famous in a presidential address to the ACM (Association
of Computing Machinery) as being so complicated and unreliable as
to pose a significant threat to the continuation of life on
earth. I doubt if that impressed the military folks, but it sure
impressed me.
