If these languages was mentioned here, this was not to suggest the Ada  =

standard should be managed the same way these languages are. You're righ=
t  =

to point these languages are not standardized (and that's really a  =

problem). But the topic is not concerned about it : if the fact "socket =

are part of many and many libraries" was introduced, this was to point h=
ow  =

much useful it is to softwares=E2=80=A6 especially with the increase of =
remote  =

communication needs, servers and things looking like servers,  =

client-server design, etc. This is, I feel, as much demanded as real-tim=
