Maybe the availability of the GNAT toolchain will get people to play more with Ada. The 2012 version has some OO constructs AND all the safety (Ravenscar profile, etc) stuff that is needed. Plus, in my experience (limited though it is) I've seen that if you can *compile* an Ada program, it'll almost always do what you thought it would (less debug due to more stringent compiler). Hmm. Maybe I'll go download the latest and do some playing...

Nobody wanted the P-51 when if first (A model) came out . The D model finally achieved what we wanted

You’ll want to make sure you use assertions enabled; the new design-by-contract aspects use the assertion mechanism.
I typically use “-O3 -gnat12 -gnato -fstack-check -gnatE -gnata” as my switches.
