One thing that can be done is concentrate on things that are unique
or done much better in Ada. For example, Ada subtyping and making
types of restricted ranges is one of the unique things about Ada
which helps make code more robust.
Making type such as
type I is range 1 .. 10;
Is not possible in C++ and many other languages that I know about.
This can be done in C++ and Java and others by defining a
new class I and making constructors and methods etc... but
in Ada it all comes pre-built into the language. In addition,
all the nice attributes that comes for free
