  Ada, now.  The Airbus 320 used a specially designed language to allow
automatic theorem proving.  There were problems, not because of technical
implementation problems, but because the resulting code was not
transparent.  (Translation: It wasn't easy to find bugs in the requirements
by looking at the source code.)
