Notice that one of his peeves is "The language should simply
not permit leaks;", which Ada does not solve.
Another is allowing multiple indirections, when you have
pointers to pointers. Ada permits this as well, of course.
Another is free-formatting of source code ("C has no formatting
rules"). Ada allows the same freedom.
