"I could not believe it: The issue March'96 (!) of ACM Computing Surveys
contains an article on page 245-247 with the promising title
"Progress in Programming Languages" by Kim B. Bruce (kim@cs.williams.edu)
The state of knowledge is of around the year 1990+-2.
The author is talking ia lot about ancient Ada83 but obviously
never heard about Ada95, an international standard ISO8652-1995-February.
There are 7 references with the youngest from 1993.
What a progress!"
...and while not quite in the same league, have a look at the
Feb '96 acm sigplan article on programming language comparisons.
It uses Ada83 as the comparison language, and more importantly,
(IMHO) confuses the concepts of package and type. !:-/
