I think that is why ADA became popular for mission critical stuff as you can inform the compiler a lot more about the constraints and so in effect make the compiler more user friendly. (Disclaimer happy to be corrected as I have never used ADA but I just finished listening to the podcast on embedded.com and thought it relevant)
- msbarnett 10y agoThe biggest correction I have is that it's not an acronym -- Ada, not ADA.

- nommm-nommm 10y agoI read ADA first as Americans with Disabilities Act (https://www.ada.gov https://www.ada.gov). In all seriousness, Ada the programming language is named after a person - the English mathematician Ada, Countess of Lovelace known as "the first computer programmer" ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace)
