Thanks very much to everyone for the interesting info. It made me look
more closely at Ada. It looks like it is indeed one of the safest
languages among the ones that aren't garbage collected, which probably
makes it suitable for programming things like airplanes, etc.:

1. hard real-time
2. bug-averse
3. not very performance demanding (don't know about other compilers,
but they say GNAT produces slow executables)

However, it does not look like it's a good match for me, since my
needs are the exact opposite:

1. no real time
2. bugs welcome (but not wrong results) - lusers will not come near my
programs
3. performance is highly important
