Ada95 _might_ be for you! : language as "C/C++". There are two separate languages, C and C++, which in : many respects are as different as night and day. This is especially true : in the context of Ada -- for C has almost nothing in common with Ada, while : C++ has a good deal in common with Ada. This lumping together is especially While C may have nothing in common with Ada, it still fair game for attach since C is more used than Ada, and Ada'ites would rather see Ada used where C is being used. You don't see the C-Ada comparisons in comp.lang.c, it appears C programmers aren't afraid of Ada taking over. However, I dare say (flame-retardant suit is on) that C would be used in many places that Ada is if it weren't forced by the government or higher management. Those it may be theorized that the Ada world is worried about C taking over. -- David O'Brien (dobrien@seas.gwu.edu) Flames to obrien@sea.legent.com...
