Ada is a general purpose Language. Basicly you can do everything with it.
The main focus is secure (error free) programming - the language has been
designed so that most errors are found at compile time. And for those bugs
not found a compile time Ada checks at run time and throws exceptions.
I find this very handy - For me the time spend with a debugger has been
rededuced to less the 1/10th in comparison to C++.
But unlike other "find the bug while compile" languages every dirty trick is
still open to you. You just have to type long word like
"Unchecked_Convertion" or "Unchecked_Access" and so on.
With Regards
Martin
