What does Ada(or Rust for that matter) do better than C? Surely, you have all of the tools for static analysis, debugging, macros for C that you would for any other language, no? I could understand generics, interfaces, iterators, OOP and all of that from a masturbatory standpoint, but that aspect aside, what utility do these provide over C? Jeremy
