Every Not sure about that one. Ada became standardized very quickly, compared to C. It is a younger language, yet C took until 1989 to become standardized, six years after Ada 83. >UNIX workstation is now X-windows based and the Ada community still >hasn't agreed on an API to X-windows. Well, that's a little unfair, considering that X was developed using C. The Xlib client library naturally arose at the same time as X! Let's give the Ada folk a break! --
