I was recently told by someone using the c++ STL that he thought they
were originally ported from Ada. I haven't been able to find much to
support this, except a Byte article by Stepanov that mentioned some
early attempts to make generic structures with scheme and ada. Does
anyone know whether a significan proportion of the STL (or its
predecessor) has ever been available for Ada?
Perhaps the Booch components for Ada 95 are going to be equivalent?

Not ported, but one of the early generic library attempts by Stepanov
and Musser was in Ada. Lecture Notes in Computer Science 358,
springer-Verlag 1989 p 13-25. I think you can find it at the RPI STL
web site too.

See the online publications at adahome.
If you're willing to put up with an incomplete, still buggy continuation
of what's there, try http://www.best.com/~bpr/agl.html

I thought David Weller had stopped work on this. David?
In any case, the libraries are *very* different.
