Actually there are language test suites for other popular languages and
a testing center available for performing formal certifications
(http://eds-conform.com/ValProdList.html). EDS provides conformance
testing for Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, and SQL.
As Phil Brashear has periodically lamented, no one outside the Ada
community has undertaken a language conformance assessment.
