Well, yes. The C++ libraries are quit nice. Unfortunately they are not nearly what I really need for my domain. You see, I need a set of libraries ( or more simply language capabilities ) which support the development of a highly concurrent design of asynchronous tasks. The tasks are REQUIRED by contract to communicate using shared message queues. I know I can do all this in C++. The trouble is that the language has no libraries or intrinsic capabilities in these areas. I must either buy or make my own. Ada gives me all of this as part of the basic language. I do not even need to call libraries to have tasking or protected types. Note: Ada protected types are shared memory regions protected from corruption by mutual access of the tasks sharing the region. They are not at all like the protected part of a C++ class.
