A short postscriopt here. Bob Leif says
"L. Introduction: Professor Dewar and I have different views on the
advisability of making interim changes to the Ada Standard. I suspect that
we are looking at the problem from two different prospectives. He is viewing
it, as a superb software engineer, and I am looking at it from a business
--More--perspective. I believe the vast majority of the readers of this note wo
very much like to see greater commercial usage of Ada. I hope my arguments
lead to a way to accomplish this without sacrificing the quality of Ada's
design."
This is an inaccurate characterization of my views. I am the CEO of one of
the very few companies that is dedicated to the commercial success of Ada.
My view are entirely motivated from a business point of view, I think
a shifting standard for Ada, which involved the incorporation of inevitably
less well reviewed extensions would be damaging from a business point of view.
