Computerworld is undertaking a series of investigations into the most widely-used programming languages. Previously they have spoken to
Alfred v. Aho of AWK fame, and Chet Ramey about his
experience maintaining Bash. In this article, they chat with S. Tucker Taft, Chairman and CTO of SofCheck. Taft has been heavily involved in the
Ada 1995 and 2005 revisions, and still works with the language today as both a designer and user. Computerworld spoke to Taft to
learn more about the development and maintenance of Ada.
