Re: Ada explanation?

[sampson@nosc.mil (Charles H. Sampson)]

     What a strange "dictionary" entry.  It starts with a brief history
of Ada and ends with a dispassionate, although not particularly enlight-
ening, list of the language's features.  Between are a representation of
what hackers think about the language and somebody's editorial comment
about what Lady Lovelace would think.

     Does this document have any credence in the industry?  (I've never
heard of it before, obviously.)  I certainly wouldn't peruse it for any
other information, since the author/compiler seems to think that the
most important piece of information is hackers' opinions.

     In other words, is "fixing" this entry worth the effort?
