Tucker was in charge of designing the new version of the language, and Jean was a member of the review team. At the Salem meeting, Jean and Tuck disagreed on a very minor issue, but went into a passionated argument. Eventually, the proposals were voted, and Jean lost (by a very small number of votes). He packed his stuff, left the room saying "Ada and I, it's over", and was never again seen in the Ada world. -- --------------------------------------------------------- J-P.
