Does anyone know any good technical > reasons for prefering Java? Both sides of the argument briefly discussed here: http://www.dwheeler.com/lovelace/s16sf.htm Mind you, the site that page is on has a number of higher lavel pages written in 1996-1998. Things may have changed somewhat. Also - looking at the site http://www.adahome.com/, which purports to be the 'Home of Ada', page for one of the two Ada J-class generators listed in the Resources provides a wonder 404, the other still doesn't load (mind you - I use FireFox.) So the technical reason might be "Cause it don't exist" ??? -- Hans Forbrich
