One problem that Ada shares with Fortran is that a lot of the users out there are still restricted to old standards. Just like you still find some projects that have to code in Fortran 77, I found quite a few Ada books and guides where Ada95 is still the new kid on the block. Let's see how that changes. One only has to think of C++, where for quite a while a lot of people urged strongly against template metaprogramming and other more modern features, basically sticking with a '90s C++, but now that C++11 out, everyone is really hurrying to get on the bandwagon again, just because a few of the new features are that good. Looks like I'm spending my holidays with some statically typed compiled languages again. Might as well try finishing/redoing that RPG I started out in '94. Design notes must be somewhere, though I guess I won't have much luck with my backup floppies.
