One done of professionals would be more interesting, but that would be much tougher to achieve. >In nearly every paper, especially those comparing Ada to Java, >the students said they would be more inclined to use Java because >of the easy-to-use development environment. Even those who Its been quite a few years since I fiddled w/ Java. What exactly does this refer to? Is it just the standard libraries that are at issue? >Some of you are old enough to remember Eddie Cantor singing, "How you >gonna keep'em down on the farm after they've seen Pareeeeee?"
