It seems to me that building a chat program in Ada may be able to solve a recurring problem experience on Yahoo chat, namely "booting," where various exploits are employed to "boot" people off of their chat server connection. Although various chat clients attempt to address the problem of booting, all of them can be booted rather easily. While this is frequently just a mild inconvenience for some, with dedicated application it can make using the service completely impossible for others. Ada's built-in exception-handling attributes strike me as tailor-made to addressing this problem and I was wondering if anyone had ever considered or pursued building a chat client for Yahoo Chat in Ada. Thanks for your time. Free
