Subject: MITRE's top-25 list of 2020 software-bug categories
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2020 09:31:13 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <268eed24-fa23-4cf0-82f1-6f344885858dn@googlegroups.com> (raw)

Proper intended usage of Ada-specific features mitigates 9 of them, including a few that hit interpreted scripting languages hard. Others of the 25 are design-level almost independent of programming language. Still others of the 25 are cavalier/insufficient WWW-oriented string-processing or SQL string-processing or director-filename string-processing that could be conceivably done just as badly in Ada.
Conversely, if HOLWG were still pursuing their language-design goals today, certainly this MITRE* report would shape the design of an evolving GreenGreenerGreenest language today, instead of Ada solving primarily yesteryear's programming/software-engineering challenges well.
