Khrabrov) Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Subject: Ada /= ADA, Mac /= MAC, C++ /= CPLUSPLUS, etc. Date: 30 Oct 1994 02:41:51 GMT Organization: Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH Message-ID: <38v15f$no6@dartvax.dartmouth.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: kip-1-sn-304.dartmouth.edu X-Posted-From: InterNews 1.0.2@dartmouth.edu Date: 1994-10-30T02:41:51+00:00 List-Id: That's it. I never saw a message with ADA in it which was an "intermediary/advanced" Ada thought. One thing which makes Ada different is readability, which is a bit of aesthetics, and Mac is a similar artistic thing in systems. Another good system was Intel 432. BTW, who works with Intel iAPX 432 now? I think it's a pity that it gave birth to i386..., while the Ada-based OS is forgotten. How nice it would be to have a native AdaOS (seize the name! free :-). And w/o correct capitalization, one couldn't distinguish say AdaOS from some ADAOS. Actually it may be important, as Norman Cohen stressed that something like CBS_Volumes differs from CBs_Volumes.
