Apart from the performance vs. safety considerations described by REH,
the communities differ in their needs for real-time features. The
majority of C++ programmers really could not care less about
dispatching policies, but are very much concerned with the portability
across mainstream operating systems and with the efficient
implementations.

The stuff that is highly demanded can be achieved with relative ease
and this is the whole point of standardizing it - and the features
that are not demanded are, well, out of scope.

The Ada community has different focus. There is nothing good/bad about
either approach.
