Considering that Ada95 is already an ISO standard, and Java is on
the way of becoming one: Is there some coordination going on between
the Ada and Java standards communities?
For instance: Since there are now Ada compilers that produce Java
bytecode available, is someone taking care of whether the needs of
Ada compilers and debuggers are taken into account when the JVM
is being standardized?
In case the Java GUI interface (AWT) gets ISO standardized, it would
be very cool to standardize at the same time an Ada binding to it.
Java and Ada are in many ways similar languages with comparable
capabilities, i.e. APIs for both languages would look similar anyway.
I think it would be a very good idea if the Java and Ada
standardization is closely coordinated and APIs for things like
GUIs are defined for both to allow code frequent reusage =>
cost savings.
