The thing which amazes me about Ichbiah's letter is the extent to which
he confirms most if not all of what I claimed about Ada9x in my infamous
Ada-woe BBS post.  It appears now that we have Ichbiah and Hoare on the
same side of this question, Grady Booch and all other former Ada players
with brains and talent advertising C++ products and add-ons in the journals,
and little other than lost souls and/or dead wood still in the fold.

Face it.  It's over.  The fat lady has sung...  it's time to go home.
