|Richard Riehle:
|
| C# has added more accessibility levels, cleaned up many of the C++
| problems with pointers, has a more Ada-like model for importing
| compiled library units, and lots of other features that will look familiar
| to the Ada programmer.
|
| The enemy may have been C++, but that was an easy target
| because of is messy rules, absurd syntax, and crazy semantics. The
| challenge for Ada, in the future, may be C#, a language characterized
| by more rigor and greater reliability that we have seen in other members
| of the C family of languages.
|
| C# will be included in the Visual Studio release 7. It is going to be an
| important language.
As Anders Hejlsberg is one of the principal C# designers - and one of the
Godfathers of Pascal and designer of Borland Delphi - is is easy to
understand the link to the Algol/Pascal/Ada language family. C# will be an
important language on the PC platform w/ MS technology "underneath" ... but
if it will be able to have the same general impact of Java, idunno.
Ada is and will for many years be an important language and also be
influencial on many "new" languages design to come. Just see PL/SQL used as
a scripting language for stored procedures by Oracle relational databases.
