So how does this make Java better? If Ada is compiled to byte code and
has use of all the Java APIs, JDKs, etc.
Perhaps the debate should be is the JVM environment / script engine
better then say the native machine / OS combination and direct bindings.
BTW, The difference is you could write Java, its VM, all its libraries
and GUIs in Ada and get a better product then if you wrote Ada in Java!
(Of course you could write Ada or Java in Perl too, another great
scripting language just like Java :)

You can say that on the JVM Ada comes with them too!

If you are more productive in Java (including debug and testing time) it
is because you have studied and collected the available resources and
practiced. Doing the same for Ada will yield similar results.
