Hello.  I'm new to Ada, but I would like to get a slightly better understan=
ding of the language.  I like how the Ada compiler is so careful, something=
 I rarely see in other languages.

>From what I've read and heard, Ada 83 compiler was very strict about what t=
ype of code could be compiled and as a result made code that ran as program=
med most of the time.  However, later revisions have weakened some of these=
 rules for Ada 95 and onward.  Is this true?

I have found some information about the different versions of Ada, but noth=
ing terribly descriptive.  If you know of something that I do not, please l=
et me know!
