I had thought they were different when I learned that Ada software is used in industrial class systems, say Boeing Aircraft, NASA, General Electric and like, and embedded systems that must be reliable, safe, etc. and simultaneously saw my little 8 year old brother programming a PacMan liked game in Python on his plastic lap stop while sitting on this bed, after teaching himself one morning.
Mace Ayres, how are Python and Ada similar? I've written code in both and to me they are night and day. As great of a language that Python is, I would not use it to write code for an airplane. And if I needed a small script to automate some tasks, Ada would be the last thing on my mind.
In what way are they similar?
