Thanks You can poke around at gnat.com for up-to-date information: I myself have been involved with the development of the standard container library that is being added to Ada 2005. Ada's new container library is modelled very closely on the STL, so if you know C++ then you'll be on familiar turf. (The library is included in GCC 4.)
