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. (http://www.auto.tuwien.ac.at/AE2002/program.html) (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 :-).
