Eh, you beat me to it!   :-)

It's a good article, and its publication happens to support my contention in
a recent off-topic posting that while ACM's official journal, Communications
of the ACM, is boring, self-absorbed, and irrelevant to the software
industry, their other publication, ACM Queue, invites reading, has practical
relevance, and is interesting.

(And I formed that opinion well _before_ this Ada article was published :-)

I checked the www.acmqueue.org website to see if there was some kind of
online link to the article, but the site doesn't even cover the October
issue as of the time of this posting.
