Electing at random one of many issues, I generally find string
processing in C less tedious than Ada83. One of the rare occasions
where the beauty of Ada83 strings showed was this:

function Replicate (C : Character; Times : Positive) return String is
   Buffer : String(1..Times) := (others => C);
begin
   return Buffer;
end Replicate;
