Such charts make little technical sense for two reasons: 1. Not all features are good, not all of them have no better alternatives. 2. Most languages implement most of their features inconsistently (that includes Ada). There is no consensus, not ever superficial understanding of which features a good language must have and how these features should be woven into the fabric of a language. CS sucks as we know. There is no way we could compare language features objectively. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
