At Tri-Ada '89, Sholom Cohen told me that the Numerics Working group
took about eight years to come up with a standard math package, and
that the Ada Run-Time Environment Working Group also required about
eight years to come up with a standard run-time environment package.
These should make it into Ada 9X, and should take care of some of the
remaining portability problems. Apparently there is quite a lot of
work involved in coming up with good solutions to these problems, but
progress is being made on these very important issues.
