Author: codesavvy@aol.com (codesavvy) Date: 7/18/01 3:35 AM Just to be clear. I think Ada 95 is a fine programming language that is suitable for many programming problems. It may even offer more advantages than C++ but if it does the differences are not significant in my mind. For a programming language to be considered vastly superior (many Ada advocates do consider Ada to be vastly superior) I believe that developers utilizing the language should show a substantial increase in productivity or it should solve a class(es) of programming problems that another language can't. I know the second reason doesn't necessarily mean the language is vastly superior for all programming problems but it is something to consider. There may be some studies that show developers to be significantly more productive. If there are I would be interested in reviewing such studies. Also I would be interested in those programming problems that Ada 95 solves that C++ can't.
