I think the biggest remaining criticism of C++ is the high incidence
of programs that successfully compile but don't do what was intended.
Ada still makes it a good deal harder to make an error that still results
in compilable code, except of course for coding the wrong algorithm or
something that's equally likely to be recognized by an expert in the
problem domain -- except that Ada's higher readability also improves
the likelihood of catching that class of error as well.
