<<Considering that Ada95 is already an ISO standard, and Java is on
the way of becoming one: Is there some coordination going on between
the Ada and Java standards communities?

For instance: Since there are now Ada compilers that produce Java
bytecode available, is someone taking care of whether the needs of
Ada compilers and debuggers are taken into account when the JVM
is being standardized?

Can someone clarify what is going on the ISO Java standardization effort.
I assumed the effort was to standardize the language, which of course has
nothing at all to do with standardizing the JVM, which is an (almost)
orthogonal issue.

Yes, other languages may have an interest in JVM standardization, but I
don't see any reason for coordinating the language standards themselves.
