> Ok I am asking How are you using Ada 2005 :)

- using a reference implementation of Ada.Containers

- passing functions at will with 'Unrestricted_Access because I know
something similar will be legal in Ada 2005

- designing for passing generic units to generic units, which will also be
possible in Ada 2005

I know Eiffel theoretically and there I find its quality not inferior to
Ada. I'm not sure about support, libraries, open source...
