Java? Delphi? Better at what?

Ada

Would you mind elaborating…?

Sane, easily readable syntax and expressive semantics. Easy to learn. Very scalable. Suitability, by design, for low level systems programming, including microcontrollers. Suitability, by design, for large, complex real-time applications. Easy to interface with C and other languages. Available as part of GCC. Stable and ongoing language evolution.

Manual memory management for anything beyond RAII.

I’d guess that’s a reference to Ada 95.
