I took it from GNU Ada homepage (http://www.gnuada.org/).
That is why I put two different qutation marks - the << >>
to quote the quotation and the " " to quote the whole
sentence.
Two days ago I was looking for an article by Gavin Smyth
"Is Ada a better C"
(http://www.beesknees.freeserve.co.uk/articles/ada-vs-cpp.html),
but because I did not remember the exact title I asked google
to find me "Is Ada better than C". One of the top links took
me to http://www.sysprog.net/quotada.html
where I found that the author is P.J. Plauger.
Finally I found what I was looking for, but I forgot to
update this in my signature. Time to do it now!
