Then you should definitely learn Ada. Don't stop when you've got answers to the questions you have now. Learn Ada thoroughly! I also suggest that you look around for other languages with interesting features, especially if C++ and Java are the only languages you know. Why? Because the more programming languages you know, the better you can see the strengths and weaknesses of each language. Even if you eventually decide that Ada isn't what you're looking for, you will most certainly learn things from Ada � and from other languages � that you can use when you design your own language, making your language better than it otherwise would have been. And whatever you do, don't include the if(a=b) bug in any new language! -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD omb jor ers @sv ge. r o.b n.p son eri nu
