First of all, its Ada not ADA. Thats one tip off that you don't know
much about Ada.
Ada happens to be a terrific language. Its implementation of objects
is so much cleaner than that in C++ it is surprising anybody uses
C++ for teaching about OOP.
The current version of Ada is Ada95. I guess that makes it about one
year old. Ada's principal developer is Tucker Taft--probably one of
the top ten computer scientists in the world.
