Is anyone talking about Ada at this meeting?   I will probably go 
along and contribute to the discussion but wouldn't feel particularly 
confident about representing the Ada view in a full 30 min 
presentation.

Of course it wouldn't be necessary to talk about " any particular 
language flaws that need to be avoided".  :-)
It mightalso  be an opportunity to plug Ada 2005.

>Computer Languages for Scientific Computing
>22 April 2005
>Institute of Physics, London
>Organised by Computational Physics Group of the Institute of Physics
>Co-Sponsored by the Higher Education Group of the Institute of Physics
>
>This 1-day meeting will review a various popular computer languages 
>that are used for different tasks within scientific computing. The 
>aim of the meeting is to broaden the general knowledge of computer 
>languages and better equip the audience to choose the right tool for 
>the right job.
>
>The meeting will be of interest to any practicing computational 
>physicist, particularly postgraduate students and researchers.
>
>The format will be a series of 30 minute presentations, each 
>focusing on a different widely used computing language, given by an 
>expert practitioner of the language. Particular attention will be 
>paid to the specific features in the language that support 
>scientific programming, with examples. Issues of language design and 
>any particular language flaws that need to be avoided will also be 
>discussed, along with considerations as to how the language may 
>develop in the future. Languages under consideration include 
>Fortran90/95, Fortran2003, C, C++, Java and Python. The day will end 
>with a general discussion forum.
