I'm already having enough trouble trying to keep up on mips-irix, but thank you :). If it's Ada-specific questions that you have, don't hesitate to ask me, though. > > For a language that's really different to C, how about Fortran? > > There's scheme as well, but I don't know how well we support it. > > I know neither of them well enough to make any comments.

I just had a look at Fortran, and although it's harder to read when you're not used to their style, it looks pretty close to C or Ada as well. -- Joel
