Well, I meant not just "maths/stats/scientific computing", but what I was
asked about - math and statistics packages (that is, libraries for general
use), which is another matter. For mathematics the latter manifests separated
responsibility, which lifts requirements far above the levels where Ada has
advantages vs. C.

Well, I think if you really need clarity in Ada then you probably should not
go outside the limitations of SPARK. Everywhere outside of SPARK you may
eventually need support of an Ada expert - and I think that it will preclude
claims of clarity.
