The evidence is what it is, and we cannot do much about it, fifteen year later.

If perfect metric existed, we would use them. Absent perfection, we use
what's avaialble. I take it the answer isn't to Ada's perceived
advantage.

Clearly, I didn't accept the argument, which boiled down to saying that
because we couldn't find a perfect metric, we should do absolutely
nothing. I know what would happen if I tried that kind of perfectionist
argument out on my boss. Rough measures are better than no measures at
all.

Yep. OK.

We already agreed that Ada83 is better defined than K&R C, so further
discussion of that is beside the point. Please answer the original
question, yes or no.

Yep. But, beside the point.

Yep. But, beside the point.

Perhaps. But, beside the point.

Perhaps. This is your area of expertise.
I guess this is a "yes", sort of.

Has anyone written such an informal description of Ada83 as well? I never
saw such a description, simple yet possible to program from, and one has
to wonder if it's possible to write such a thing.
