I think it is really a wonderful underappreciated language." In article , Dennis Lee Bieber wrote: "[..] Ada95 does have some major additions (protected objects as a second means of intertask communication, whereas Ada83 and kin only have the rendezvous)." VHDL, whose form was influenced by what was then Intermetrics and is considered to be a relative of Ada, does not have rendezvous but does have signals and VHDL'93 has shared variables.
