Hi, here is what I have noted as strengths and weaknesses of Ada. Let me know for any corrections and if you have anything to add... Thank you!
Strength and weaknesses of the language
Strength
- Semantics - well defined even in error situations
- Strong typing - can be used to reduce the scope (and cost) of analysis
- Quality - successfully used in many high integrity applications
Weaknesses
- Ada complete language is too complex. True or False? If true, how?
- Ada requires expensive compilers for large systems
- Ada lacks that web presence greatly. comp.lang.ada is the only location on the internet with an active Ada community.
- How is security a weakness? (Strength can be a weakness too?)
