This is completely wrong. In fact, Stepanov wrote the first
version of what would become STL in Ada in 1985. He even tried
to influence Stroustrup to adopt Ada's explicit instantiation
model of generics, and only when he started using implicit
instantiations did he come to realize their power. You can
read about this in an interview with him from 1995,
<http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/drdobbs-interview.html>.
