I'm even (gasp) thinking of checking out Ada. If you're thinking about checking out Ada, you might want to take a look at D. I haven't gotten very far into it myself (I was attracted by DbC), but it looks like a modern redesign of C: GC, OO, and typedefs that actually define new types, while still being something it's possible to generate reasonably fast code for. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
