Re: status of Ada STL?

["Ehud Lamm" <mslamm@huji.ac.il>]

There were attempts by Musser and Stepanov using Ada IIRC, but the current
design of the STL uses many C++ specific "tricks".

There are many great Ada libraries around. What we still don't have is
containers and algorithms as part of the Ada standard library.

Many people are trying to help solve this problem. Check out the previous
couple on months on comp.lang.ada.

A few of us are going to meet an discuss how to help push this along, during
the Ada-Europe'2002 conference next week.

(If anyone reading this is at the conference, I'd love to chat about this
issue, over a glass of beer or a cup of coffee :-).
