Were you figuring on independently checking all of the language groups for followups? Or is it a problem with my newsreader? Since Ada is one of the few OO languages out there with an ISO standard and test suite and a history of standard-adherence among compiler vendors, it would be interesting to see how other languages stack up against it. Other languages have standards, to be sure, but divergence from the standards seems to be more the rule than the exception. In this respect, Ada has done famously well - if one considers standard-adherence to be a good thing.
