Sure they count, if you want them to :-) Seriously, I think they should count because just about every program in any language uses a standard library that comes with the language. In Java - there are more standard libraries, for example for windowing and networking and simple graphics - all the standard libraries are designed from the start to be object-oriented This is a significant advantage over the Ada standard libraries. Like Tucker says, if you use AppletMagic and use the Ada bindings to the standard Java libraries you inherit these advantages. - Mitch Gart
