Nobody prevents you from rewriting PCB in Ada ;-)

and yes I agree with you wrt Ada vs C++. But the CGAL library really
seems very heavyweight. 

Half a million lines of include is a lot. Strange enough, the cgal
package itself is reasonable, that's the development which is huge.

The dependency list (boost, mesa, gmp) and the list of files
(https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libcgal-dev/filelist)
make me cringe (for a start: what are these cmake files for?).
