In 1996 David A. Wheeler wrote a paper that compared Ada, C, C++, and Java against the Steelman. This served to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of those languages, areas that could be improved, and a scant few requirement points that perhaps aren't even applicable anymore. Since then several more programming languages capable of systems work have been created, so it's time for an @@ -37,70 +37,70 @@ update. More datapoints!
