Uhhh..I do. I'm also happy to assist anyone who may need some Ada advice pertaining to whatever it is they may be working on, whether in this forum, gnatlist, or gnat chat (if that somehow gets reformulated back into a public forum). > If someone wants to create another > container library in Ada I say "more power to'em!". That ground > doesn't look old and tired to me. I guess the problem is that having worked with Ada for over 15 years, I can write container packages in my sleep, but I don't bother since there's a score of variations to pick from. If someone's undertaking such an effort to aid their learning of Ada, then yes, "more power to them!" But otherwise, do something new! I've been working a lot with ASIS (Ada Semantic Information Specification) lately, and if one wants to stay within pure Ada, and is interested in developing development and analysis tools, aids for doing ASIS development would be incredibly welcome.
