Hi Everyone

I was just reading through the list of libraries included in C++ boost. We don't have matches for all of this but the libraries that ship with Ada have quite a bit of coverage too and I was surprised that we more or less match up.

The thing is, that the Ada libraries come with almost no documentation/example code at all.

Do you find that just reading through the spec files is enough for you to understand how to use the library in most cases? I was thinking I would try more of them out but I also wonder if I am about to go off on a suicide mission.
