What sort of standard libraries would you like to see in Ada? The obvious ones. E.g. console I/O, adafied sockets, buffered I/O, national language support (NLS), turbo pascal style strings, NLS string comparison, file utilities (expand wildcards, get file names from a directory, delete file, set file protection, etc), dynamic library support (load library, symbols under program control), standard datatypes for system calls, standard datatypes for the C library.
