Then I'll post a "Ada 0X : reinventing the wheel" message :-) Another area where I'd like to see Ada 0X "reinvent the wheel" is in the area of generics. In the Ada world we do tend to view C++ templates as just an inferior knockoff of Ada generics. But they do have some good things going for them. I don't think that Ada generics should be like C++ templates in general, but I do think that Ada or an Ada-like language should have something like template specialization / partial specialization in C++. -- Mark
