Considering the papers I have read comparing how engineering students
succeed in implementing embedded systems in Ada and C, I disagree.
There is of course the difference that the students most likely got
their development system served on a silver platter. You may want to
see if you can get information on what they have been working with.
(Asking John W. McCormick might be the easy way to get the
information.)
You can find an on-line paper on the experiment at

Greetings,
Jacob
