An other point I'm surprised nobody mentionned:
Provided your compiler supports Annex F, you get guarantees about the numerical accuracies of computations, *including* the accuracy
of the math library.
AFAIK, Fortran tells you nothing about the accuracy of sin, log, etc. So if you are concerned not only by fast results, but also by
accurate results, Ada is a big winner.
