Ada was actually designed to meet a Department of Defense requirement for a
language to develop very large and reliable embedded programs. The current
version, Ada95, is an excellent general-purpose language that can be
compared in scope to C++, while making it much easier to write correct,
error-free code -- hence its frequent use in aircraft systems, traffic
control, medical equipment, etc. It's also got built-in concurrency.
