From the Script: SLIDE 17 - Standardization
Ada 83 and Ada 95 are both ISO standards.
C is, as we all know, an ANSI standard.
C++ on the other hand is not yet a standard - and may not be for some time to come. The results of a recent ISO survey indicated that C++ still had a way to go. Current C++ ISO committee estimates are September of 1998.
Standardization has a direct link to portability. It alone doesn't solve that problem, but without a standardized language, the project is locked into one vendors' dialect.
