Ada83 has been criticized for being "AdaCentric". But in my
experience Ada83 is much easier/more flexible in its ability to call
other languages than any other language I've worked with. In
particular, representation specifications make it possible to define
an Ada type that matches the (often bizarre) data representations in
other languages.
"AdaCentrism" is a problem with respect to elaboration, but we're
collectively working on this issue.
If you think Ada83 is bad, try to figure out how to integrate C++
with anything besides C!
