In my opinion, portable libraries which could be only a standard of facts,
as long as you don't violate RM rules, is not a question of fighting against
other languages.
It's just about starting to put in practice what Ada has claimed since the
beginning of its existence.

Ada talks about reuse, software components, portability.
An XML library manipulating files and strings, is compiler dependant, and
the build is not even tested on Windows.

Honestly, a  C++ or a Java programmer seeing that has some reasons not to
take very seriously Ada users lessons ...
