It is not, but you have to understand the logic behind it, which might 
be different from what you know from other languages.

For example, Text_IO is compatible with keyboards, async lines, etc. 
What would backspacing mean on these?

And Ada has nice features to make your life easier, especially the 
ability to have dynamically size arrays. If you want a full line and 
don't want to care with the length, just do the following:

declare
    Line : String := Get_Line;
begin
    -- do what you need to do
end;

This will reserve exactly the right size for Line, no possibility of 
buffer overflow, and no wasted space.
