So, you can add to my list of "things that happened since 2003": * Many code samples posted on rosettacode.org by Ada enthusiasts * Wikibook "Ada Programming" written from scratch by enthusiasts, then voted a "Featured Book" in, I believe, 2006. Furthermore, part of the work for designing and publishing Ada 2005 was funded by Ada-Europe and ACM SIGAda (for the USA). If you want to help make Ada's future a bright one, I recommend you become a member and contribute financially (the membership fees are very low). There are benefits; for example, if you join Ada-Europe within the next couple of weeks, you'll receive a printed copy of the Ada 2005 Rationale by John Barnes. See http://www.ada-europe.org or your national Ada user group. -- Ludovic Brenta.
