The subject says all :-)....

But yeah, I'm just wondering if some organization is planning something like
that?  new lagnuage extensions syntax elements and others?

Dotn et me wrong, seems complete as far as a language goes, but just to
refresh it  a bit, bring it to the new millenium? :-)

Ada200X is in the works.

St�phane,

As I understand it ...

It is the stated policy of ISO (the international standards organisation)
that each of their ratified standards is 'reviewed' regularly -- typically
once of five years -- and amended as necessary (or possibly rescinded) to
bring it up to date. With programming languages, in practice, this tends to
happen, very approximately, once every 10 years. Hence there is COBOL 66,
COBOL 77, COBOL 85, COBOL 90, COBOL 95, and COBOL 2000.

Ada was first ratified in 1983, and the only revision it has had was in
1995. So it seems, in 2003, that Ada may be due for a revision soon!

Go to:

   http://www.ada-auth.org/

and read the notes.

The Ada Issues Database link will take you to a page that will allow you to
download Ada Issues (AIs) in various categories. You might be interested in
the 'WG9 Approved' category. Some AIs are marked 'amendment' or
'corrigendum'. An amendment AI is intended to be introduced at the next
revision of the language. A corrigendum is a set of minor corrections to the
standard (and there was one published for Ada in 2000).

Be warned, these issues are very technically involved.

(Your interest is appreciated :-)
