I'm still interested in hearing if any of those who have switched from Ada to The Radiant Future of language X are finding that there's trouble in paradise X. It seems that if there is trouble in paradise X then we Ada advocates should be sure and document it for the benefit of others who are considering such a switch, or who are simply evaluating languages. OTOH, if everybody is happy as a clam using X then I guess we need to rethink some of our assumptions. Mike Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
