alt Hacker Newswhat do you mean under Ada's complexity? E.g. C++ is really complex because of a lot of features which badly interoperate between themselves. Is this true for the Ada lang/compiler? Or do you mean the whole complexity of ideas included in Ada - like proof of Poincaré conjecture complex for unprepared person.
"Is this true for the Ada lang/compiler"
Yes, Ada has a lot of the same kind of fractal complexity that C++ has, which derives from unforeseen interaction of some features with some other.
On top of that, as I said in another comment, features are extremely overspecified. The standard specifies what has to be done in every edge case, often with a specification that is not very practical to implement efficiently
