Joe Celko should know.
Frankly I don't see how there could be a problem making a subset of Ada 83 or
Ada 95. Once you have the basic type and variable stuff, arithmetic, strings,
labels and if and goto you should have something that would be ugly and
running. It would resemble Ada, but it would not be pretty.
His pronouncement of Ada being dead is further from the truth today than ever
before. To me it looks like Ada is thriving. Just look at the activity in
comp.lang.ada these days.
