Graeme,
Have you introduced yourself to one of the 5GLs (Fifth Generation Languages:
this is a loose classification)? I am keen on Prolog myself, but there is
LISP, Haskell, ML (maybe;-) and quite a few others (some really obscure).
You may find that using a higher-level language, such as Prolog, fits your
'application domain' better than Ada (but not necessarily). Ada may suit you
very well if you need a fully compiled language (i.e. maximum speed), or if
your software ends up being immensely big and complex, but I would guess
these are both unlikely.
Prolog and LISP are (generally) interactive languages; you might find this
way of programming and working suits you better. They are, essentially, a
little simpler than Ada, too.
(Am I a traitor to Ada or what? :-)
I guess further discussion should be by e-mail (CC Preben Randhol and Marin
Condic) rather than in this newsgroup.
