The C++ STL is, by far, a piece of code larger than all the Ada generic units combined you can find in the Ada95 standard. GCC compiles the STL, so do Visual C++ and aCC. Isn't it enough signs of evidence? Even more, now that the language has been written down as a standard, what can stop the convergence of the C++ compilers to the standard?
