An interesting interview with Tucker Taft, some times after Ada 2005  
standard was released. It's all summarized, but cover a wide range of  
anecdotes, ranging from Ichbia and Taft respective view of language  
philosophy, the hard work (and sometime failure) to convince every  
reviewers with a world-wide standard, his belief that Ada will always play  
an important role as a benchmark for other languages, his disappointments  
about the crowd of scripting languages quickly emerging every where (about  
the same errors repeated again and again), and some sort of suggestions he  
give to every one to learn and *understand* (the abstract way) multiple  
languages instead of just one.
