The Ada standard library is massive and is included in the exception. There are "internal" "GNAT specific" packages which you can include in your project but there are not really any you need or would use in a general sense - there are even warnings you get at compile-time telling you that you are using something GNAT specific and are prefixed with GNAT.* instead of Ada.

"massive" meaning a ~300 MB compressed download, compared to a 20mb C++ with stdlib. it's even more more massive than the biggest professional lisp packages. Only Microsoft and Apple Tools can compete with that kind of massiveness, but they ship a lot of crap with it. Ada/Spark is an extremely nice and easy to use framework (if you forget the python crap that comes with it), and I would hire any Spark or ATS or F* programmer over a C++ or Java programmer in a minute. no questions asked.

This example of integer overflow is also very common amongst C/C++ programmers. Almost nobody cares about overflows or 2gb boundaries. Nobody knows how to efficiently use adc ("add with carry") or how to check for it at compile-time. spark does it for you automatically.

That is news to me, thanks for pointing it out!
