ADA 95 AND THE AGE OF INTEROPERABILITY
Topic: Ada, Reuse
In the June 1997 edition of JOOP, Richard Riehle of AdaWorks Software
Engineering, examines the advantages of using Ada 95 in software
re-engineering efforts, and concludes:
"Ada is a language designed to maximize interoperability with other
languages. In the fast changing world of software, such interoperability
is becoming an essential language feature. This is true for both simple
code reuse and for interfacing to existing code during legacy code
re-engineering. Probably no other contemporary language design has taken
as much care in designing its facilities for interoperability as the 1995
Ada standard."

v10, n3, pp 56-59.
