 Does anyone have any statistics on the Expressive Power of Ada in
terms of lines of Ada code to lines of Assembly code?  Additional data
would be useful as it affects the usefulness of the statistic, however
limited data is better than none so any contributions would be much
appreciated.  Target platform, compiler used, optimization settings,
would probably be relevant.  Also aspects of the language used: tagged
types, access types, tasks, protected objects, dynamic allocation,
exception handling ect...

I am working with a group to develop this information on a variety of
programming languages and think it would be an interesting statistic.
Depending on the success of our research, and your interest, I will
post results back to the forum.
