Re: Standard Library Interest?

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

And therein lies the problem. Without some leadership, direction and 
*probably* some financial commitment in some form, these all-volunteer 
efforts tend to stall, drift and produce little. Even if it did, without 
some implicit buy-in from the vendors and ARG, its just another library 
amongst many. Go look at all the stuff sitting on AdaPower and 
elsewhere. Its fine work and great that people out it out there. None of 
it has been adopted and declared to be "The Thing", so its got overlap, 
varying styles, varying quality, varying levels of support and 
enhancement, etc. None of it comes along for the ride with any compiler, 
so nobody can point to it and say "I can count on this being in the 
development environment so all Ada programmers will know about it, use 
it, etc."

It needs ARG and vendor support and direction or its mostly wasted effort.
