No, it is not a hoax. I asked them for more details and they promised
to send me some kind of description of the system. If they really send me
more information of their system, I'll send a note to this newsgroup.

Aahhh, but are they planning to submit it for validation? :-)

The real question is "Which American or European company did they
steal the ADA compiler from?" :-) :-)

What is so bizarre about USSR wanting to use some language like Ada?
Perhaps because they so often take the practical route instead of the
BS route?

About a year ago the connection between the USSR and Ada became
rather obvious to me (after having struggled to put together about
a 15k line LISPish interpreter parttime for a year or so).
Ada is a rather ingenious plot to slow down the US imperialist
offensive work around the world by making all these "Software
Engineers" (not programmers) labor slowly onwards (and at times
backwards) with their projects. These projects will also have
to be cut down in scope just to get them out at all. And since
things go so slowly, do you think they are going to really
test their programs? They will be so full of bugs the
reliability question will provoke laughter around the world.
Weren't the members of the Green Team from Europe? Certainly
they weren't a bunch of sniveling Rambo's; they just led on all
the other committees with this greatest of Trojan Horse software
programs yet. Reminds me that at least two women from my past
have claimed to have poked holes in certain Trojans while on
babysitting jobs. Oh, well.
By the way, Ada is my maternal grandmother's name, so screw the
DoD's registered trademark.

My previous query must have gotten lost. So:
Is the posting describing an Ada compiler from the USSR a hoax? If not, what
are the implications? Seems like this is at least as important an issue as
questions about code.
