That is one possible answer among others. However about this one, I would  
say “ if you want to create things fast, use script languages, not Ada ”.  
Doing fast requires to drop many things.

About the “ cumbersome ” qualifier, I would say the RM is far easier to  
read than it is easier to solve any original problem. If every thing could  
be as much precise and predictable as the RM is... (this could be better,  
but it is clearer than most other things).

It's not the less easy, because everything is already done for you there,  
someones (a lot of peoples) have already solved a lot of things for you in  
the reference. Reading the RM provides more solutions than troubles.

This is not a personal opinion or a personal feeling, this is an objective  
fact : when you have to create something, you are facing the unknown,  
while the RM is what is known. This is one of the least cumbersome thing  
(it requires time, true, but time is needed for good things to become  
mature or to have a stable enough figure of it in mind).

Hope I'm not going to much off-topic with that comment.

No-no, this isn't an oops ...or I hope (TM) - Don't blame me... I'm just  
not lucky
