I wonder how much Ada is in Curiosity on Mars. Let me guess, 0%?
It's all in C.
Nope, at some place of the compilation there is some intermediate C
code, yes, but the stuff the developers wrote is not 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.
for example 4491 and 4835.
Those are not actually bugs. 4491 should probably be marked as an
enhancement request just as 4835 already is.
Anyway, how would a compiler written in Ada magically have support for
those enhancements?
This should render your "0" invalid.
It does not.
