Hi All,

I am not sure whether this idea has been discussed before, but I am writing=
 this down anyway.

Java is a very popular language along C/C++. Ada has fine qualities for wri=
ting robust code, that Java and c/C++ languages are missing. It seems that =
Ada and other Pascal family of languages are not popular among programmers =
because programmers consider Pascal as a toy language suitable only for aca=
demic purposes, and Ada has also a burden of being DoD language and being c=
omplex, slow etc.

The idea that came to my mind was that if Ada language is implemented in sy=
ntax similar to Java and C++, this might attract more programmer to adapt A=
da. This would mean creating Jada (Java-Ada) an/or Cava (C-Ada) languages, =
that look like Java/C++, but actually they are Ada. So, no matter what lang=
uage programmer would use Ada/Jada/Cava, the result would be the same - rob=
ust code which has all Ada's good features.

Any comments on this?

Br,
Calvin
