I only know Ada83. It could have been a nice, useful concurrent language if it had been designed by 1 or 2 people, but a committee made a balls of it. For something better, try Limbo.

I looked at Ada95 and thought, although it was unfashionable at the time, OO FTL.

then again all exception handling sucks (even in Haskell). the only language that got it right is erlang.

Let's disable one of the language's built-in error checking features and then blame the language for our not catching our fuckup that it normally would have caught!

I see shit like this the whole time in C++. The Mozilla guys did it (ooh, C++ exceptions are slow, let's make up our own bloated middleware layer, XPCOM). Nowadays I think you should decide what culture you like (e.g. C++&UNIX, C&Plan9, Java, UNIX-desktop-of-the-month) and just do things the same way others do. In particular, don't be afraid to use all the facilities available to you--if it's not fast enough, you picked the wrong culture.

Happens someone who cares why is that captchas are very different but everything taught in this case a b D language because he liked Fortran Intriguingly there is extensive metadata there!
