Comm. acm bug

[Peter Hermann]

I was badly amused looking at the April'97 issue of Communication of the acm:
Topic: The Debugging Scandal and What To Do About It.
I nearly felt the dedication to 20-year-aged debugging practice 
of a whole issue being a scandal in the light of Ada.
Of course, Ada was not even mentioned in this reputed magazine.

The April'97 issue of ACM SIGPLAN notices has an "interesting" article
on the history of Ada:

"Garbage In/Garbage Out
I Have a Feeling We're Not in Emerald City Anymore"
by Henry G.Baker

I really enjoyed reading it! (I just hope it isn't all true... ;-)
