Ada

Ada is a very expressive and robust language in which the default for every programing construct is inherently safe. It was designed to allow programs to be engineered rather than crafted and that is why Ada is chosen for applications where failure would result in catastrophic losses in terms of human life, economic damage, or a major breach of security. In such applications reliability is not just desirable, it is mandatory.

Swiss-based Projects

Ada has a long and successful track record in Switzerland in the development of mission-, safety-, and security-critical applications. A sample of some Swiss-based projects that owe much of their success to Ada are illustrated in the following slideshow images.
