Heh, heh... today I got several COBOL compile
errors, telling me that Ada is leaking into my
day job:

...
END EVALUATE

(Should be END-EVALUATE)

IF RET-CODE /= 0 THEN

(you get the idea). I never had this problem with
C/C++ :)

I wonder how many programmers have had Ada leak into their C/C++ and
have written something like

if (code /= 0) { ... }

This is valid C, so the compiler won't complain, but it will not quite
do what you want.

Are you sure? ;-)

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
int code = 1;
if(code /= 0) {
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

[beorn(a)hactar tester]$ LANG=en gcc ada_not_equal.c
ada_not_equal.c: In function 'main':
ada_not_equal.c:3: warning: division by zero

That's even without the otherwise indispensable -Wall.

The problem I have most often when I switch languages is that I get =, :=
and == mixed up.

It is more the "Ada style" that has leaked in my VB coding, like

Sub Mix(ByVal code As Char, ....
' declarations here and not scattered anywhere...
Dim li As String
Dim bid As String
Dim fi, fo As Integer
Dim first_line As Boolean
' begin
first_line = True
'
fi = FreeFile()
FileOpen(fi, name_1, OpenMode.Input)
While Not EOF(fi)
...

Now I've simplified things, making GCC leaking itself into the day
job :-).

Yep, I've been having to backspace over some := in my
awk scripts lately also.
