(computer, chuckle)

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 ...>>.
