Although I knew ther would be Ada articles by me and Joyce Tokar, I was unprepared for the delightful coverage on Ada elsewhere throughout this issue. Page 25 - Marie Lenzi, the Editor says, "Eiffel, our pure entry, is a beautiful, smart, elegant language and Ada, over the last couple of years, has been pumping serious object iron. This is the language [she means Ada] closest of all the hybrids to an object orientation. Now with is complete set of object qualification, it hopes to win market segments other than the requisite U.S. government. More to come." Page 27 - A Comparison of Object-Oriented Languages by Jean Pierre LeJacq Ada is given a fair hearing in this short overview of OOP languages. It is worth reading. Page 50 - Ada: An Update by Richard Riehle This is a follow-up to a piece on Ada in the May 1995 issue. Page 53 - Ada 95: The Language for the '90s and Beyond by Joyce Tokar An excellent little article with emphasis on software engineering benefits of Ada. Also a nice treatement of concurrency. Page 59 - Java As As Application Development Language by Jay Johnson "... C is the operating systems language, Forth is great for device drivers, C++ fits in where a low-level procedural approach and a higher-level semi-object-oriented approach are needed on the same project, Smalltalk fits in where a pure object-oriented approach is appropriate, and Ada is the best language for huge embedded systems." The good news, represented in this magazine, is that many software practitioners, who also write, are beginning to discover the unique benefits of Ada. For those of you in the Ada community who appreciate this kind of support from Object Magazine, may I ask that you consider writing a letter to the editor acknowledging that support.
