I removed the Embedded systems cat (a language alone isn't a system) and got a note regarding Ada's intended use within that context. While I wouldn't suggest re-adding the category, I would suggest that someone incorporate that fact in the article itself to better clarify that fact.--[[User:Hooperbloob|Hooperbloob]] 06:46, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
As a software engineer involved in the development of Ada, I would like to see included in here a comparison with C and C++. Ada is one of the few programming languages certified by the DoD because we produce much more reliable programs, more resistant to hacking than other high order languages, e.g., C++.
However, where speed is concerned, you really want to use either Assembly Language or C, an intermediate language. Ada still requires a lot of memory and has a high overhead. There are some compilers that allow an optimized, bare-bones Ada but they need to be carefully checked. I suggest having two compilers and compiling the source code on both. You'll find different bugs each way.
: I just wanted to start writing such a chapter but the first sentence in chapter "[[Ada_programming_language#Features|Features]]" allready reads: "Ada was originally targeted at '''embedded''' and real-time systems, and is still commonly used for those purposes.". --[[User:Krischik|Krischik]] 18:19, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
