The present text includes,
"Depending on the ASIS standard, software
engineers can write portable tools that generate source-code metrics
(such as McCabe complexity metrics), check a program's conformance to
coding styles or restrictions, make cross-references, and globally
analyze programs for validation and verification."
This is all virtuous and will be ignored by the press. I suggest the
following addition:
The source-code metrics can include a means to objectively determine the
contributions and remuneration of different authors to a final product
including commercial software applications.
Ada potentially has the tremendous commercial advantage of objectively and
thus reliably dividing up royalties. For once, we might be able to turn a
technological advantage into a marketing advantage.
