Well, twice you mention the need of an IDE...so tell me, does the Eiffel
IDE that works just so wonderfully work when your terminal and your host
computer are separated by a firewall? Does it come with vi? emacs? Surely
you know, tastes differ wrt this. (I never got accustomed to MS's great M.)
What if you have to get along with an environment that is hopefully at least
vt100 capable...? I think this may be not too uncommon.
With Ada, to start working I 'just' need a compiler/linker combination.
But from then on I AM able to work. Perhaps not with all the worlds luxuries
and little add-ons and features, but it is possible. However, if I need
a fully blown-up intelligent IDE, then I am lost. (Since I am sure there
won't be any ports to some platforms I am interested in.) Surely Ada has
a better stand in here...but sadly --- if you want oo at all --- often C++
only wins. Maybe this will change some day. *sigh*
Just my opinion
Yours
Joerg
