Actually, everything you've listed seems like a good fit for a C programmer (me) to give Ada a serious spin. Maybe not for a C++ programmer. In the meantime, I've learned about the existence of "-fdump-ada-spec" for both gcc and g++. Apparently, g++ driver is preferred, even for C code. How cool is that? Automatic thin wrappers for your existing code with nothing more than a 'g++ -c -fdump-ada-spec -C super_awesome_code.h'. I've just tried it on a somewhat large-ish codebase which has a single .h as an entry point and it created a bunch of .ads thin wrappers with only two unsupported macros (one doesn't matter and the other is for dllimport/export shit). If this works, it might be an easy ticket into Ada adventures for a C programmer.
