I am looking for a webpage (or any other source) that explains the
advantages of Ada over C++ and/or Java in a point by point manner. I
have seen pages that explain the advantages of Ada in a broad sense,
and I have even seen some that go into some detail, such as
http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/ifi/ps/AdaBasis/pal_1195/ada/ajpo/intro/9x-cplus.txt
, but I have yet to come across a detailed enumeration of the superior
methods of Ada.

For example, I'd like to see something like this:

1. Ada has compilable interface specifications. The advantage of this
is ...

2. Ada does runtime bound checking. ...

3. Ada has real enumeration types, whereas C and C++  ...

4. Ada allows user-defined types, as opposed to typedefs in C/C++,
which are ...

5. Ada has a more integrated environment, with less dependence on
external utilities such as "make". ...

Suggestions will certainly be appreciated.
