I wouldn't see good and easy to use debuggers, standard libraries, GUI, IDE
coming with the compiler, etc  ...
as tools going against safety concerns ....
Good luck if you want to convince Java or C++ programmers ... It could be a
lot of fun, but I'm not sure they will even listen to you.
The point is that, whatever good is the language, I dont see how Ada could
justify not to provide elementary stuff expected by almost every programmer.
There is no safety concern about that.
