Which I recently came across looking for some simple Ada examples. It's verbose in the sense that there are fewer shortcuts -- you can't just read bytes, assume they convert to integers, and be done with it -- but in production you don't really want that anyway. Of course, doing what you should, rather than doing what you can get away with, will mean that when an engineer says "one week", and you multiply with two, for actual time of "two weeks" -- you'll have to multiply that again, for actual-for-reals, interface-actually-covers-the-bare-bones-we-need, of "four weeks"...
