Ada, C, C++, and Java vs. The Steelman

David A. Wheeler: Ada, C, C++, and Java vs. The Steelman

This paper compares four computer programming languages (Ada95, C, C++, and Java) with the requirements of "Steelman", the original 1978 requirements document for the Ada computer programming language. This paper provides a view of the capabilities of each of these languages, and should help those trying to understand their technical similarities, differences, and capabilities.
