I can't really fault your logic in this post, with the exception of the
above statement. Given the reams of well-nigh unreadable code generated
by tools such as a GUI builder, I'd much prefer the generation is done
into a language with safety features like array bounds checking. For me,
this is reason enough to have the code generated in Ada.

And no, this doesn't really dillute your overall argument much. Its just
a nit.
