Ada is a programming language created by Cii Honeywell Bull and led by Jean Ichbiah for the [US Department of Defense]?. It is similar to traditional structured programming languages and adds several object based concepts. |
Language FeaturesAda was originally targetted at embedded and real-time systems, and is still commonly used for those purposes. The Ada 95 revision improved support for systems, numerical, and financial programming. Notable features of Ada include [Strong typing]?, run-time checking, parallel processing, exception handling, and generics. Ada 95 added support for object-oriented programming, including dynamic dispatch. Ada implementations do not typically use garbage collection for storage management. Ada supports a limited form of [region-based storage management]? which allows some cases of access to unallocated memory to be detected at compile time. History |

What about * how Ada tied into formal specification languages? * how Ada is very stongly typed * packages in Ada * concurrency support * real time/embedded system support ??? * how Ada suffered from design by DOC committee/specifications and required super-fast hardware for compilation/debugging. * ?? others |
