All languages designed by committe look like Ada. If you don't
believe this, look at a book on Algol-68, or ANSI standardized PL/1
(the full implementation, not the G subset that everyone with a brain
actually produces a compiler for). Look at FORTRAN-88. It would
appear that committees cannot produce a working language that has less
than 5,000 largely unused and unwanted mis-features.
