I'd add an additional problem to the ones mentioned in the recent Ada
Letters article "Experience Programming Java Applets with Ada95" by
Kann, Feldman, and Sibert.  Every record definition becomes a Java
class, which means it becomes a separate file.  I put a very small
application up on a web page hosted on AOL and each of those files,
while small, results to the downloader in 5-10 seconds of "connecting,
waiting for response" messages.  The option of a different web host
site is not always available, and writing a significant program
without using records feels like a return to Fortran.
