The reference by the writer of the article under discussion to C as
a high-level assembler (whatever that is) for the PDP-11 is an indication
of his ignorance.  I fail to see how the C language (not to be confused
with what a compiler does with it) is intimately tied to the PDP-11.
Anyway, the idea of ADA "taking over" makes me nauseous.  Hopefully, since
the DOD accounts for a small percentage of our business, we won't have ADA
forced upon us.
