Ada/GNAT from a C++/GCC user Date: 1996/04/02 Message-ID: #1/1 X-Deja-AN: 145543230 references: organization: Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 1996-04-02T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: Chris said "I doubt it's the biggest problem with Ada 95, but it is one of the first things that narrow-minded people who resent being told to learn new languages pick up on and complain about. Sometimes you need to make some concessions to these people whether you like it or not." If we took all the features that someone or other claims are "one of the first things that .. [people complain about]", we would have a list long enough to fill a book the size of the Ada standard. Almost always this sort of thing is anecdotal, and I must say I react with skepticism, especially when the issue is a trivial one like this.
