Re: Not to incite a language war but apparently the Corona lockdown was based on 13 year old undocumented C-Code

Wow!  https://lockdownsceptics.org/code-review-of-fergusons-model/

This is ugly, lol... and they give another go in C++. (facepalm)

For sure it would have fewer bugs or even no bugs in Ada.

1. The modeling power (embedded clarity combined with capabilities/paradigms properly supported) of Ada has no equivalent.

2. Nothing hard about making clean multithreading.

3. Using object-oriented techniques for handling complexity while retaining flexibility and reusability is Part 3 of John English, Ada 95: The craft of object-oriented programming ... and any good undergrad software book written since 1996.

Other languages are underspecified, lack features uniformity, are plagued by idiom trends, and the average Joes inevitably pile up their own party mess by arguing their right to express their style of programming, more often than not, under the auspice of a god syndrome lacking frugal taste. 

Ada just cuts the crap on all of these fronts while retaining all the crucial bits of something like C and C++, performance and low level hand really. Is is that simple.

Governments should just force Ada on their workforce. The public pays and therefore should be entitled to quality stuff that compounds. If you do not want to learn it, ... like you learned Python on Youtube, on the job for the last 3 months, well you know where the door is.

Enough with the clowns...
