You bought -a- book!? You don't state that you've used Ada, or even
that you know it, but only that you bought -a- book. And some years
ago at that -- maybe it didn't even cover the current standard (Ada 95
vs. Ada 83).

What evidence do you have that there are no good compilers? BTW,
compilers aren't portable. Ada the language, OTOH, allows one to write
very portable code. And there are compiler implementations that
produce runtime code at least as efficient as equivalent C runtime code.

Since when does one need to know "the whole damn thing" to use any
programming language or other complex tool?

What low-level system-programming functionality is missing in Ada? In
fact Ada has more low-level functionality than C or C++. It was, after
all, originally designed for -embedded- applications.
