If the requirements include: speed, efficiency, portability, and high reliability for multi-threading; then Ada with the Ravenscar profile for rate-monotonic scheduling is the best solution. Please visit http://www.adaic.org/ and http://www.stsc.hill.af.mil/crosstalk/2003/11/0311dobbing.html. Aon

Ada would have let you use the same code for all of your implementations. A version of the GNU (GNAT) Ada compiler generates ECMA, which is used in .NET. Parenthetically, the ECMA compiler was based on the GNAT J code generator. Bob Leif -Original Message- From: Gunnar Liljas [mailto:[EMAI

Most memory leaks are the result of using pointers. If a language provides a construct that can replace the use of pointers, then this problem can be minimized. Java has significant overhead because it checks its dispatching at run-time rather than at compile time. Bob Leif Robert C. Leif, Ph.D

not portable, since it requires its own environment and is not an ISO standard. Ada is an ISO standard. Even C# would have been a better choice; at least it is an ECMA standard and has a decent execution speed. Bob Leif Robert C. Leif, Ph.D. Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From

From: Bob Leif To: Lee Insoo A good deal of your problems comes from the selection of Java as the programming language. Java is a tremendous marketing success. Unfortunately, Java was obsolete the day it was created. Although Java is owned by SUN, it has been the second finest gift to Microsoft. It

From: Bob Leif To: Matt Savino It sounds like you need the performance of an efficient compiled language that performs wherever possible its inheritance at compile rather than run time. Ada is an ISO standard which is available as a GNU compiler, GNAT. It should be noted that Java is a proprietary

From: Bob Leif, It seems that the Java underlying FOP is a source of a significant number of problems. I would suggest that the developers switch to a much more reliable and efficient object oriented technology, Ada. Since Ada is an ISO standard and has an extensive validation suite, it is much mor
