Yes. Especially when it's intermixed with claims that Ada allows to
finish the project earlier when compared to "other" languages.

Sorry, but reinventing every wheel have *never* made any project
faster. Not only because it's just directly more work - there is also
indirectly more work with all the new bugs that get introduced on the
way.
Implement my own container? Is this what high-level programming is
about?

Sorry, I had to say that.
