It really sounds like you haven't taken the time to understand Ada.

Ada programmers hardly ever have to chase resource leaks.

If you attempt to write C++ or Python in Ada, you may end up in big
trouble, but if you use the language (instead of fighting it), you will
hardly ever have to worry about access types or memory management.
