Suggestion : I suppose you came to Ada later after others (this was = probably not the =E2=80=9Cmust-have cool stuff=E2=80=9D many people reco= mmended to you = first). You may use to think =E2=80=9CWhy is this and that so much clums= y stupid = and so much non-logic with this XYZ language or paradigm ?=E2=80=9D. The= n, may be = you though to switch to something else after some any times, because of = = many and any reasons. So, what about just have a try and see if, let say= , = next year, you will have some reason to leave this language and paradigm= ? What about just try and see if the experience gonna be same or different= ? -- = There is even better than a pragma Assert: a SPARK --# check.
