Re: Looking for the article comparing D to Ada and others

I had no idea of the DoD's Steelman requirements 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelman_language_requirements)


I found another documents that has the same table that was on the 
website listed in an earlier post.  Here are the individual links:


https://www.dwheeler.com/steelman/steeltab.htm
http://jedbarber.id.au/steelman.html

I thought it might be nice to combine those two tables in one 
below.


D is really up there!

|--++-++-+|
| Language | No | Partial | Mostly | Yes | Mostly/Yes |
|--++-++-+|
| D|  7 |  15 | 25 |  66 |81% |
| Parasail | 11 |   6 | 11 |  85 |85% |
| Pascal   | 19 |  16 | 11 |  67 |69% |
| Rust | 12 |  19 | 23 |  59 |73% |
|--++-++-+|
| Ada  |  3 |   5 | 11 |  94 |93% |
| C| 32 |  21 | 16 |  44 |53% |
| C++  | 19 |  17 | 23 |  54 |68% |
| Java | 20 |  12 | 22 |  59 |72% |

I remember D was doing pretty well and I think Ada (or SPARK?) 
was included as well. What article? Where?


But you didn't meant

This is about Pascal, Ada and D, but was heavily criticised 
because other languages were not considered after very early 
stage.

Thank you,

I remember reading this, but it was pascal instead of ada

https://forum.dlang.org/thread/yzlzlmhshfhetmpxi...@forum.dlang.org


That's it! :) And humans (or maybe just me) are fault machines: 
I was sure it had Ada in there. :/


Ali


Me too, probably because the wikipedia article on the Steelman 
requirements mentions that Ada was specifically created to 
fulfill them. And that it succeeded and even went beyond them.

Thanks but no. :) The article I'm looking for was specifically 
for comparing languages against each paragraph (point?) of a 
safety spec.


Ali


Oh, I vaguely remember that too. I think it was the MISRA spec? 
Or was it JSF or something else? Can't quite remember, sorry.
