If pre-processors or translators can be written for C to produce object-
oriented languages, then the same ought to be possible for Ada. Has (is)
anyone done this? What are the advantages and problems?
I can see at least two problems for users. Debugging of programs produced
by anything other than a compiler means your
you're looking at "ugly Ada" rather than the "super Ada" of
Objective-Ada/Ada++. This was one reason RatFor and company never caught
on widely.
Also, standardization might suffer. I suspect, however, that the various
super-Adas would be used only in experiments, and that useful features
would eventually find their way into Ada-1993.
