Ada reusability (was: Expression Parser)

Ada reusability (was: Expression Parser)

[Ehud Lamm]

Ted correctly points out that Ada is much better suited for reuse than C,
and that it encourages and supports portable code. This is all true. 
My point was simply to see how we can encourage even more reuse, and
easier reuse for new comers to the language and community of Ada, by
support outside the language itself (i.e, web sites, indexes etc.) -
beacuse it seems from where I am looking that many newcomers find it
difficult to find what they want (usually GUI builders but other things as
well). 

One more, heretical, observation is that since the C culture approves of
hacking and sharing boscure code which may indeed by highly non portable,
even people with less time of capability can share their code. Sometimes
this can help... This goes back to my original idea. 

But again, my main focus would be how to improve things, rather than just
to debate philosophicaly. Kudos to all of you who contribute to this
effort by sharing your code. (by the way, I hope to share my currently in
the works frmaeworks which for example will support semi-AWK coding in
Ada, etc. due date: unkown so far).
