I thought the writer really meant "for the GREEN language". The
recent posting RE: the "final" rationale is correct, I think. The
rationale for preliminary Ada appeared as ACM SIGPLAN Notices,
vol. 14, no. 6, June 1979 part B.
For readers interested in Ada history, this document (and part A,
the original ALRM) is very interesting because of the (mostly
simplifying) changes made to Ada between 1979 and standardization
in 1983.
I imagine that "Rationale for GREEN..." was substantially similar
to the 1979 rationale, though there may have been some changes
even then.
Can anyone say for sure if the final rationale is finished
or whether the thing NTIS is selling is the "draft" of 1984 that
Ichbiah left partly undone? I have the 1984 one; I have heard
rumors that the final, finished one is indeed "out there" but only
available by subterfuge. Can anyone elucidate for INFO-ADA readers?
