Yes. Still, from what I've read so far, Ada seems the cleanest. I just
read that this was the reason, the US Department of Defense initially
chose it.
Here http://www.adahome.com/History/Steelman/steeltab.htm is the report
the decision was based on. It only compares to C, C++ and Java though,
although OCaml, Eiffel or Smalltalk would be better competitors.
