From: Bob Leif, To: James Richardson I am dead serious. Evidently, you have had no experience with Ada 95. Ada is much better at modeling XML than Java. I realize that Java is a marketing success. Unfortunately, it is based to a great extent on obsolete technology. For instance, it lacks: generics (templates), enumerated types, and range checking. Ada is also safe enough for the Boeing 777 flight control system and the French railroads.
