Re: Language Flames

[mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu (Michael Feldman)]

Once again I'd like to plead for keeping this an Ada group. We are all
entitled to our opinions; mine is that it's not a good place for
language bashing or emotional comparisons between languages. 

This is at least the 7th time in the last few years that we've gotten into 
a war of words over Ada vs. the C family. I can hit the kill key, but the
poor folks who get Info-Ada digests have to slog through the flames to
read the other digested messages. 

Please let's end the emotional stuff, guys. Both Ada and C++ are here to stay; 
even-handed comparisons of features might be educational for us all, but this 
bashing is just a waste of network bandwidth.

Ted, Jim, Ray: is this OK with you all?

PS - why don't you guys set up an alt group for language vs. language
free-for-alls? I notice the Lisp proponents are into the act now...
