I've been telling non-Ada people about Ada 9X for years, only to be
dismissed with "Well, that's still a long way off." (It was the same
reaction Bjarne Stroustrup objected to when he complained about people
treating the ANSI extensions to C++ as "science fiction.") When I refer
instead to the features offered by Ada 94, people tend to take it more
seriously as a viable option and a tangible reality. (The existence of
GNAT certainly helps in this regard!)
