Although I work at Intermetrics, I have very little familiarity
with "Red." I joined Intermetrics in September 1980, after the "Red"
language effort was over, and John Nestor had left for "greener"
pastures ;-).
Almost all of the ideas for Ada 95 were based on experiences with
Ada 83 and other 80's languages such as C++, Modula-X, CLOS, etc.
plus reading knowledge of other languages such as Oberon, ORCA,
Haskell, etc.
