I remember coming across an article/post somewhere on this a while back. It=
's definitely not making the language better. If you want to make a better =
Ada, then focus on features that it is missing (e.g. features that would at=
tract game developers!) and to fix things like string types. Focusing prima=
rily on cosmetics is very counter productive, and the changes proposed only=
 weaken one of Ada's strong points, readability =3D> maintainability!=20

I _really_ hope this effort doesn't take off...
