Re: ada without ada libraries?

Interesting debate: theoretically, I would support fully Yannick.
But when looking at my practice the strange fact is that the only DSL
I'm using is command-line interpreter scripts.
I can do everything else straight in Ada, even:
1) on-purpose data conversions, sorting, aggregation (in one case,
replacing a R script; the Ada version ran hundred times faster and
solved a data modelling bottleneck for several people)
2) 3D models (instead of VRML or MAXScript)
3) random language generators (Ada is used there in a purely
functional way)
4) recompression of Zip archives by calling different Zippers and
taking the best compression ratio

In cases 2) and 4) I can definitely do a lot more than using a
corresponding DSL
