You can seee the results of completion rates for a 10-15K line project done in both C and Ada in my Real-Time Embedded Systems class over the past 20 years. The class runs for one semester (15 weeks). The bottom line is that NO student team ever completed the minimal project requirements in C. Over 80% of the teams working in Ada complted the project. My latest publications on the matter are We've been working on the railroad: a laboratory for real-time embedded systems McCormick, J. W.
