For the news and as an anecdote : C is rising up again (due to embedded =
 =

systems quickly rising every where), while C++ is slightly decreasing (f=
or  =

the same reason C is rising again, C++ is decreasing), and the Pascal  =

usenet group is closed. So... not sure.

There is even better than a pragma Assert: a SPARK --# check.
