SPARKAda

A SPARK program has a precise meaning which is unaffected by the choice of Ada compiler and can never be erroneous.

From the examples in the chapter, I thought it looked surprisingly simple to use - comparable to adding contracts in DbC, for example. I guess the analysis requires a little more effort?

This has been mentioned only in passing by Ehud so I hope it's worth a post of its own. And I'm amused by the idea that Ada is a sloppy, ill-defined language... ;o)
