I disagree with your disagreement with 2. Ada is really a high-level
language, and C really is a low-level language. Capers Jones has
classified languages as low, middle, and high level based on the average
number of statements need to code a function point. C, at >100, is a
low-level language. Ada, at < 50, is a high-level language.
Maybe you're disagreeing that this is a reason for Ada not being popular
