Excerpt:

  Even Floyd, who loves the language, admits that, "Its greatest
  weaknesses is a flaw in the interface/implementation separation. A
  class exposes its private data/methods to the world and a programmer
  must use some tricks (that should be supported directly in the
  language) to overcome this."

Whay I'd really like to see which would give Ada a huge lead over Java
would be a tool which takes C++ declarations and produced Ada
bindings.  The GNAT User manual hints that such a tool exists but
states that ACT don't distribute it.  I remember seeing something
somewhere about bindings being generated automatically by SGI.  Are
these tools still available?
