just so no one takes this out of context, Ada9X adds only five keywords:
aliased protected tagged requeue until
to the original 63 for a total of 68 keywords
that's less than an 8% increase in keywords in 10 years.
(or less that 1% per year :-)
still far from COBOL's league.
did C++ add new keywords to C?
