Ada 95

language 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 typecomposition.

GNAT aims to be a free implementation of Ada 95.

You can get the standard from the Ada Joint Program Office.
