I guess what I find most interesting is that a group of researchers
unconstrained by backward compatibility come up with a language that I
find significantly less elegant than Ada 95, even though it is roughly at
the same point in language design space. What about generics?
And, since it is more relevant to Ada, what of generics in SPARK? I
remember asking about this a long time ago and someone from Praxis said
a future version might support some form of generics.
I shouldn't even mention overloading since it is controversial, but I
think the other Wirth family languages suffer for that omission.
