Rob, why don't you think Ada (I am talking Ada 9X of course) is suitable
for report writing? I would be interested to know. I know traditionally
that specialized report writers have seemed reasonable, but ultimately
they are less successful than one might suppose. For example the REPORT
WRITER module of COBOL turns out to be of dubious value.
Given the rapidly changing nature of the world, I wonder whether traditional
views of report writing are very relevant. One may soon find that writing
Mosaic pages automatically is more important than executing trees. Almost
all aspects of programming have this kind of flux.
