You are entitled to this opinion, but it is wrong. The design of STL is
supremely elegant. Not only does it give immense expressive power with
simple syntax, it allows the C++ compiler to generate higly efficient
code to implement this power. The C++ standardization committee found
this library to be so compellingly good that they adopted it into the
language and made certain that the language would support it properly.
Ada has nothing like it, since it is missing automatic instantiation
of generics.
