OTOH
1. Ada is multiplatform, so you can compile to JVM, .Net but also
native platforms
2. Performance: e.g. for number-crunching you can get an Ada program
compiled to native Win32 running 10x faster than a C# equivalent
3. With .NET (perhaps also Java ?), you need to use reference types
most of the time; with Ada's type system you can use value types most
of the time
4. Ada is oriented at catching the most possible bugs at compile-time,
through its syntax and its strong type system; so you have many bugs
that don't flow into run-time problems. Result is that you can go much
earlier and much more relaxed out of the office :-)

Cheers
