McCormick found that 90% of Ada's presumed advantages were
down the list of important advantages, at least in his "test
groups". (That's the model railroads embedded projects.)

At the top of this list are Ada's scalar types.

At the top of the list of the weekly CVEs are predefined
scalar types of C.

So, it's not exactly just syntax that programmers change when
expressing their embedded programs in sequential Ada, not C.
