I have a couple of hypothetical questions regarding C and Ada:
1) If you have a software design, all things being equal, if you implement
the design in both Ada and C, which implementation will have the highest
number of lines of code, the C implementation or the Ada implementation?
How much percentage-wise(more or less) on average, would the difference
be?
2) I remember seeing various studies that show the length of time spent
developing software systems from the earliest design stages to final
delivery. Again, in a perfect world, would it take more or less time
to design and develop in Ada vs. C? I am excluding the maintenance/
enhancement phase in this question. If I recall I believe I have seen
studies somewhere that show that it takes the same amount of time
overall to design and develop in Ada vs. other languages, but that more
time is spent in design and less spent in coding for Ada. Can someone
direct me to any studies that investigate this issue?
I do not wish to start more C vs. Ada flame wars again, my purpose is to
start an informative, educational discussion on this subject....
