Sure, but the facilities in Ada are far more powerful, allow
more control, and most importantly, provide a much better level
of abstraction. For example, packed bit arrays are a powerful
feature missing from C. Sure you can program this yourself in
C, but it is messy, error prone, and results in ugly and
possibly inefficient code.
