I thought this snippet of an email from the Ratio Group made an interesting commentary along the same lines; the problem of "too brittle ... too rigid" in a dynamic world seems to be generic, not limited to the Ada language capabilities development process. xanthian, not that this is going to be a huge surprise to any long-time software practitioner. (B) Extended Call for Position Papers: "Feyerabend Redefining Computing Workshop" at ECOOP 2002. The goal of this workshop is to bring together everyone who is interested in the redefinition of computing and/or in the use of alternative metaphors/languages/ ideas for entering the Next Era of computer science. The major problem with the current flow of ideas is that current approaches merely enable the construction of software that is too brittle and too rigid in order to survive and operate in our real world which is dynamic and constantly subject to change.
