Actually, Tucker pointed out some places where Eiffel, Java and even C++
did well better than Ada. I really dislike Eiffel, and class obsessed
languages (sounds commmunist to me! ;-) but I have to admit that it has a
more elaborate assertion mechanism than Ada.

Anyways, to digress a bit, if you're interested in some "academic fiddling"
which may have some impact on the safety issues you should look up
dependent types. Hongwei Xi has done some interesting work; start here

http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~hwxi/
http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~hwxi/Xanadu/Xanadu.html

Another intriguing avenue of research is proof carrying code.

The bummer to me is that noone makes an Ada like language which
incorporates these new concepts. Oh well, I like ML too I guess it isn't
all bad :-)
