"my > language is better than yours" That is not the impression I got from this post. Rather, it was, "How can they claim this is new when Ada has had it since Ada-80?" It reminds me more of reactions to an article a few years ago (sorry, no reference right now) on adding concurrency to C++ that was obviously an implementation of Ada-83 tasking in C++ terms, even using "entry", "accept", "select", "rendezvous", and so on, but that made no mention or reference to Ada, instead presenting the ideas as new and original with the author. -- Jeffrey Carter
