T.E.D. said

"I can't really fault your logic in this post, with the exception of the
above statement. Given the reams of well-nigh unreadable code generated
by tools such as a GUI builder, I'd much prefer the generation is done
into a language with safety features like array bounds checking. For me,
this is reason enough to have the code generated in Ada.
"

Sure, Ted, I agree with this, there are many reasons for choosing an
intermediate language (portability, redundancy of checking etc.) and
it may well me that on the tecnical merits, Ada is a good choice.
