Hi,
For the "Historique",
i used a paper on the NET which said that it was Andy Hunt. As i
respect the copyright, i let it as it. But i will add Yukihiro
Matsumoto as you can read page 37.
For Ada, it's not so simple. The DoD asked for a new language.
Bull+Honeywell won. But DoD chose this language, with it's own
criterias to select it.
On my own, it's not false, and not really right too. I will complete
this.

Thank you for your attentive reading.
Regards,
Yvan
