E. W. Dijkstra writes in his memorials about A. Ershov, one of the greatest
Soviet Scientists in Computer Science working in Novosibirsk (Russia). Dijkstra
was a good friend of Ershow and they used to visit each other frequently.
Dijkstra writes the following:
". . .At one of his visits [to The Netherlands], Andrei asked my opinion about
Ada. I told him that Ada was such a mess that I shuddered at the thought that
Western security would depend on it and that I would feel much safer if The Red
Army were to adopt it as well. Andrei smiled and gave the now famous answer
<<Don't worry ...>>.
