1) Ada is strongly typed and
True
2)ya just can't use pointers to just anywhere and change them on
the fly.
You can certainly modify pointers. I don't know any language that
at the semantic level of the language lets you "use pointers to
just anywhere.:
3) Code will have bigger executables
This (a) a property of implementations, not of languages and (b) not
in any case true of existing implementations.
4) You can't use pointers to functions.
That's just false. Ada has that capability (Ada 83 lacked it, but
we are in 1996 these days!)
