I am a C++ programmer learning Ada. So far, I love it. It is more or
less the answer to my prayers. The only thing I miss which I think
really enhances readability and minimizes bugs (two things that Ada
excels at), is the ability to declare a variable "anywhere". In C++ we
can declare a variable exactly when it is needed, which is easier to
read, than to have to scroll up to the beginning of the function to see
what type/size/whatever, a variable is. Also, it directly makes it
possible more often to initialize a variable with a sensible value,
because it is available, which it wouldn't be at the start of the
function/scope.
Is there anyway to address this problem?
