thought this group would find this interesting. We might want to work
next year to make Ada9x the language of the year!

In PC week the Year in Review under section "Biggest Letdowns of the Year"
The C++ Programming Language
"With syntax so chaotic that even compilers have to guess at it,
C++ code had better be reusable, because no one will ever want
to reverse-engineer it. The programming language's
"feature" - being a superset of C- is a fundamental bug.
With numerous large projects being written in already obsolete
dialects, C++ is arguably an "instant legacy" language."
Oh I can't resist ;-)
their product of the year was.... [ remember this is a PC only mag]
Mac OS 7.5!!
"Proving over time that Apple was right in 1984, Mac OS 7.5
maintains the overall edge in friendly usability that makes
Macintosh users wonder why anyone would even think of using
anything else."
