I wonder how much Ada is in Curiosity on Mars. Let me guess,
0%?
It's all in C.
Take a look at bearophile's list of Ada features advertised as
making Ada code less buggy. Then look at, for example, dmd's
bugzilla list.
How many of those bugs would have been prevented by Ada's
features?
I'd say about 0.
And how many of those bugs would have been prevented with D's
const system? (Which apparently still has some holes wrt
delegates ...)
But IMHO it's an absurd comparison anyay since dmd does not
qualify as a hard realtime system with provably bounded memory
usage (which is what Ada is about ...)
