No, it was not posted (afaik).  Thanks for the link.

I find it interesting that no attention seems to be given to the fact
that a language like Python provides a "clean" and natural translation
of algorithms - when one focus on explaining a certain algorithm and
demonstrating its use, it would seem natural to avoid having to deal
with syntactical obfuscation.

Then again, given the authors professional attachment ("Adacore"), it
is not entirely surprising that emphasis is given to Ada...
