Maybe a blasphemy here, but if you go trough full formal
verification does Ada offer significant advantages over C or
C++?  L4.sec guys deliver code via C and apparently this did
not hamper their efforts.  Potentially Ada may be more
productive, however in formaly verified project actual C coding
is likely to be small part of total effort, so replacing
C with Ada should not make much difference.  I would think
that Ada strength is in intermediate area where better
checking in compiler and safer programming practices
lead to faster delivery of reasonably good program.
