I stumbled upon the rules for the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest at http://acm.baylor.edu/acmicpc/Regionals/About.htm and noticed that Ada is excluded from the World Finals (although apparently not from the U.S. regional contests). Regional Contest Computing Environment The programming languages of the regional contest include C and C++ Additional programming languages may be used. The programming languages of the World Finals are Pascal, C, C++, and Java. The page is marked as a "draft" and the "contacts" section isn't there yet. Is anyone on this list familiar with this contest and in a position to have Ada added to the language list? F. Britt Snodgrass ([log in to unmask])
