Rationales
As a language is used over a period of time, it becomes clear that certain features could be improved or added to make the language more useful and, in general, improve it. Ada is not an exception. The language itself is examined about every ten years after which a new revision of it is released for use. The rationales (or ALEG - Ada Language Enhancement Guides) provide in-depth overviews and coding examples which explain why certain features have become necessary or needed improvement. These rationales are available for general consumption from many sources, one of which is listed.
