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 pl=
ay  =

an important role as a benchmark for other languages, his disappointment=
s  =

about the crowd of scripting languages quickly emerging every where (abo=
ut  =

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.
