That said, I'd love to use Ada.
- aseipp 10y agoHe writes out a list of places where C++ is undoubtly better and can help write safer code over the alternatives when you question him -- not perfect code, just code that better utilizes modern features, to help reliability -- and your response is... to avoid his question, address nothing, and do some random handwaving with an FQA. Honestly, the response would be funny if it wasn't just a little bit pathetic. But I've learned not to expect much from people who can only handwave with no actual substance. Programmers are good at that.

Ada is a great language and I also would rather use it instead of C++, but it isn't packaged with any SDK for the OSes that I care about, nor does it have a good integration history with Java and .NET. Using third party tooling for production code is always an extra development cost, so I do the best with the lemons I get. C++ is a much more tasty juicy lemon than C.
