A relation of proximity to, or of presence in or on,             something; as, at the door; at your shop; at home; at             school; at hand; at sea and on land.          2.

Ada n.   A {{Pascal}}-descended language that has been made    mandatory for Department of Defense software projects by the    Pentagon.   Hackers are nearly unanimous in observing that,    technically, it is precisely what one might expect given that kind    of endorsement by fiat; designed by committee, crockish, difficult    to use, and overall a disastrous, multi-billion-dollar boondoggle    (one common description wss "The PL/I of the 1980s").   Hackers find    Ada's exception-handling and inter-process communication features    particularly hilarious.   Ada Lovelace (the daughter of Lord Byron    who became the world's first programmer while cooperating with    Charles Babbage on the design of his mechanical computing engines in    the mid-1800s) would almost certainly blanch at the use to which her    name has latterly been put; the kindest thing that has been said    about it is that there is probably a good small language screaming    to get out from inside its vast, {elephantine} bulk.

Ada          (After {Ada Lovelace}) A {Pascal}-descended       language, designed by Jean Ichbiah's team at {CII Honeywell}       in 1979, made mandatory for Department of Defense software       projects by the Pentagon.   The original language was       standardised as "Ada 83", the latest is "{Ada 95}".          Ada is a large, complex, {block-structured} language aimed       primarily at {embedded} applications.   It has facilities for       {real-time} response, {concurrency}, hardware access and       reliable run-time error handling.   In support of large-scale       {software engineering}, it emphasises {strong typing}, {data       abstraction} and {encapsulation}.   The type system uses {name       equivalence} and includes both {subtype}s and {derived type}s.       Both fixed and {floating-point} numerical types are supported.          {Control flow} is fully bracketed: if-then-elsif-end if,       case-is-when-end case, loop-exit-end loop, goto.   Subprogram       parameters are in, out, or inout.   Variables imported from       other packages may be hidden or directly visible.   Operators       may be {overloaded} and so may {enumeration} literals.   There       are user-defined {exception}s and {exception handler}s.          An Ada program consists of a set of packages encapsulating       data objects and their related operations.   A package has a       separately compilable body and interface.   Ada permits       {generic package}s and subroutines, possibly parametrised.          Ada support {single inheritance}, using "tagged types" which       are types that can be extended via {inheritance}.          Ada programming places a heavy emphasis on {multitasking}.       Tasks are synchronised by the {rendezvous}, in which a task       waits for one of its subroutines to be executed by another.       The conditional entry makes it possible for a task to test       whether an entry is ready.   The selective wait waits for       either of two entries or waits for a limited time.          Ada is often criticised, especially for its size and       complexity, and this is attributed to its having been designed       by committee.   In fact, both Ada 83 and Ada 95 were designed       by small design teams to be internally consistent and tightly       integrated.   By contrast, two possible competitors, {Fortran       90} and {C++} have both become products designed by large and       disparate volunteer committees.          See also {Ada/Ed}, {Toy/Ada}.          {Home of the Brave Ada Programmers       (http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/)}.   {Ada FAQs       (http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/FAQ/)} (hypertext), {text only       (ftp://lglftp.epfl.ch/pub/Ada/FAQ)}.          {(http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/ada/)},       {(ftp://ajpo.sei.cmu.edu/)},       {(ftp://stars.rosslyn.unisys.com/pub/ACE_8.0)}.          E-mail: .          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.lang.ada}.          {An Ada grammar (ftp://primost.cs.wisc.edu/)} including a lex       scanner and yacc parser is available.   E-mail:       .          {Another yacc grammar and parser for Ada by Herman Fischer       (ftp://wsmr-simtel20.army.mil/PD2:GRAM2.SRC)}.          An {LR parser} and {pretty-printer} for {Ada} from NASA is       available from the {Ada Software Repository}.          {Adamakegen} generates {makefiles} for {Ada} programs.          ["Reference Manual for the Ada Programming Language", ANSI/MIL       STD 1815A, US DoD (Jan 1983)].   Earlier draft versions       appeared in July 1980 and July 1982.   ISO 1987.          [{Jargon File}]          (2000-08-12)

Ada          (After {Ada Lovelace}) A {Pascal}-descended       language, designed by Jean Ichbiah's team at {CII Honeywell}       in 1979, made mandatory for Department of Defense software       projects by the Pentagon.   The original language was       standardised as "Ada 83", the latest is "{Ada 95}".          Ada is a large, complex, {block-structured} language aimed       primarily at {embedded} applications.   It has facilities for       {real-time} response, {concurrency}, hardware access and       reliable run-time error handling.   In support of large-scale       {software engineering}, it emphasises {strong typing}, {data       abstraction} and {encapsulation}.   The type system uses {name       equivalence} and includes both {subtype}s and {derived type}s.       Both fixed and {floating-point} numerical types are supported.          {Control flow} is fully bracketed: if-then-elsif-end if,       case-is-when-end case, loop-exit-end loop, goto.   Subprogram       parameters are in, out, or inout.   Variables imported from       other packages may be hidden or directly visible.   Operators       may be {overloaded} and so may {enumeration} literals.   There       are user-defined {exception}s and {exception handler}s.          An Ada program consists of a set of packages encapsulating       data objects and their related operations.   A package has a       separately compilable body and interface.   Ada permits       {generic package}s and subroutines, possibly parametrised.          Ada support {single inheritance}, using "tagged types" which       are types that can be extended via {inheritance}.          Ada programming places a heavy emphasis on {multitasking}.       Tasks are synchronised by the {rendezvous}, in which a task       waits for one of its subroutines to be executed by another.       The conditional entry makes it possible for a task to test       whether an entry is ready.   The selective wait waits for       either of two entries or waits for a limited time.          Ada is often criticised, especially for its size and       complexity, and this is attributed to its having been designed       by committee.   In fact, both Ada 83 and Ada 95 were designed       by small design teams to be internally consistent and tightly       integrated.   By contrast, two possible competitors, {Fortran       90} and {C++} have both become products designed by large and       disparate volunteer committees.          See also {Ada/Ed}, {Toy/Ada}.          {Home of the Brave Ada Programmers       (http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/)}.   {Ada FAQs       (http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/FAQ/)} (hypertext), {text only       (ftp://lglftp.epfl.ch/pub/Ada/FAQ)}.          {(http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/ada/)},       {(ftp://ajpo.sei.cmu.edu/)},       {(ftp://stars.rosslyn.unisys.com/pub/ACE_8.0)}.          E-mail: .          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.lang.ada}.          {An Ada grammar (ftp://primost.cs.wisc.edu/)} including a lex       scanner and yacc parser is available.   E-mail:       .          {Another yacc grammar and parser for Ada by Herman Fischer       (ftp://wsmr-simtel20.army.mil/PD2:GRAM2.SRC)}.          An {LR parser} and {pretty-printer} for {Ada} from NASA is       available from the {Ada Software Repository}.          {Adamakegen} generates {makefiles} for {Ada} programs.          ["Reference Manual for the Ada Programming Language", ANSI/MIL       STD 1815A, US DoD (Jan 1983)].   Earlier draft versions       appeared in July 1980 and July 1982.   ISO 1987.          [{Jargon File}]          (2000-08-12)

Ada 95          A revision and extension of {Ada} (Ada 83) begun in       1988 and completed on 1994-12-01 by a team lead by Tucker Taft       of {Intermetrics}.   Chris Anderson was the Project Manager.       The printed standard was expected to be available around       1995-02-15.          Additions include {object-orientation} ({tagged types},       {abstract types} and {class-wide types}), hierarchical       libraries and synchronisation with shared data (protected       types) similar to {Orca}.   It lacks {multiple inheritance} but       supports the construction of multiple inheritance type       hierarchies through the use of {generics} and {type       composition}.          {GNAT} aims to be a free implementation of Ada 95.          You can get the standard from the {Ada Joint Program Office       (http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/ada/ajpo/index.shtml)}.          ["Introducing Ada 9X", J.G.P.
