Hi,

seems to me, that the "calendary" discussion is typical
for ADA95 enthusiasts.

The C - Programmer works for performance and nowaday for
nothing but performance.

The Java - Programmer works for building longer and longer
class names, hoping that someday there is at least one
java application which is platform independent.

The Visual Basic - Programmer works for ... aahhh, money ?

But the ADA community does work for eternity and the hall of
fame in computer programming.

So everything has to be thought out till the very end. But for
the price that many good ideas never come to work.
