[[...]] Ada is a computer language developed originally for DOD contracts. It has rather a lot of features. During early development, the language was called Green. It is now named after Augusta Ada King[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=50306], Countess Lovelace, (it is most definitely not an acronym) who was AIUI a female mathematician in the 19th century. She was a daughter of the mathematician Annabella Milbanke, Baroness Wenthworth, and George Gordon, Lord Byron, (the poet, who Ada never met) and was a collaborator of Charles Babbage; her work on his Analytical Engine (? - not the Difference Engine but the successor machine) has made her generally accepted as being the world's first computer programmer. [Tcl] and Ada: http://tash.calspan.com/ Visual Ada Developer (a [Tcl/Tk] oriented Ada-95 [GUI builder]): http://www.websamba.com/ldulman/vad.htm The [GPL]ed VAD [http://www.websamba.com/guibuilder] Leonid Dulman updated in mid-2006 includes a "Tcl script generator", and appears to be compatible with both 8.4 and 8.5. His Ada Developer Studio also interfaces to [Qt], which has a very slender Tcl connection. <> Language
