I agree with this; real-time programmers have very different requirements
than those on desktops or even soft-real time servers.

I would probably say "limited with" (because it allows a natural structuring
of interrelated packages that wasn't possible in Ada 95) and the containers
library (because it makes something powerful available to everyone in a
standard way).

But it's probably a little early to say (for instance, I haven't used any
new Ada features in programs yet). The biggest value may be in something
that appears less critical now.
