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.

According to this, it's 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

No, the compiler is detecting it and working as expected.

and 4835.

It's arguable.

This should render your "0" invalid.

Even if you find any, I sad "about" 0.
