Ada 95

from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)
Ada 95

   <language> A revision and extension of {Ada} (Ada 83) begun in
   1988 and completed on 1994-12-01 by a team lead by Tucker Taft
   of {Intermetrics}.  Chris Anderson was the Project Manager.
   The printed standard was expected to be available around
   1995-02-15.

   Additions include {object-orientation} ({tagged types},
   {abstract types} and {class-wide types}), hierarchical
   libraries and synchronisation with shared data (protected
   types) similar to {Orca}.  It lacks {multiple inheritance} but
   supports the construction of multiple inheritance type
   hierarchies through the use of {generics} and {type
   composition}.

   {GNAT} aims to be a free implementation of Ada 95.

   You can get the standard from the Ada Joint Program Office
   (http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/ada/ajpo/index.shtml).
