See <http://groups.google.be/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/be9bf965710b207c/5b0e6c86333d3c86?lnk=st&q=MISRA-C+Ada&rnum=10&hl=nl#5b0e6c86333d3c86>:

[for safety related software] are Ada and Modula-2.  If such languages
could be available for a proposed system then their use should be
seriously considered in preference to C."
