From what you said I understand that it is pointless to compare languages in their timing efficiency. Anyway, I am convinced that Ada95 is suitable for numerical computation and I am going to use her. I would also like to refer everyone interested in the subject to: Jan Verschelde: Algorithm 795: PHCpack: A general-purpose solver for polynomial systems by homotopy continuation. ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 25(2): 251-276, 1999. PHCpack is a large general purpose package which solves systems of polynomial equations (using homotopy continuation methods). In this paper the author explains why he chose Ada for writing this package
