Hi all,
I have posed the question whether Ada95 is suitable for numerical
programming at the newsgroup of numerical analysis.
I asked if Ada95 is better that Fortran90/95 and C++ for writing programs
for numerical computation and the reply was that the Ada language
specification requires extensive
run-time checks which slows down the programs. I thought it would be better
to ask your opinion too. I have noticed that there are too few numerical
programs in Ada95 for numerical computation is the above fact the real cause
for this? Finally would you suggest someone to use Ada95 for numerical code?

Thanks,
John
