I wouldn't have put it that way - you have far more control over data
representations than you have in C or C++. Record representation
clauses (as long as the compiler supports them) are very well defined.
In C and C++ bit-fields are a bit of a hit and miss affair.

Ada's enumerated types are also far superior to those of C/C++ (except
they have to be in order!).

And any other language that may come in useful (even C if you must :-)
