Abstract
This presentation will comprise a discussion between two language designers, John Barnes and Tucker Taft, who have been intimately involved with the design of Ada over the past 30 years. During the discussion they will review the successful and less than completely successful features of the various versions of Ada, going from the original Ada 83, through the latest Ada 2012 version, and will attempt to identify some lessons to be learned about programming language design and evolution.

Distributed and parallel execution in Ada 83
WPDRTS '95: Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Real-Time SystemsSince the standardization of the Ada programming language in 1989, much research has gone into the distribution of Ada programs across a number of separate processors. However, no standard for distribution of Ada 89 programs has emerged. A new language ...
Embedded, hard, real-time systems with Ada
SIGAda '09: Proceedings of the ACM SIGAda annual international conference on Ada and related technologiesDevelopment of real-time systems is expensive and difficult, in part because of low-level languages that force developers to use facilities that are ad hoc, incomplete, and not portable. The Real-Time Systems Annex of Ada 2005 (along with the language ...
