One of the most aggravating mis-statements here is the claim that Ada
was designed by a committee. NOTHING could be further from the truth
(I speak as a member of the only committee in sight at the time, the
DR's, who certainly did NOT act as designers in any sense).
Oh well, who can control what hackers say :-)
Incidentally, I guess that hackers will also find the exception handling
facilities in C++ hilarious. Perhaps they just find it hilarious that anyone
would bother to waste time worrying about error situations in code :-)
