Yes, and yes.

I’ll let colleagues respond to the first part of your question, Brian.

Regarding your suggestion to associate a date with each gem, we purposely don’t date the gems, as they are not supposed to represent any kind of progressive Ada course but rather a collection of interesting hints, presented in no particular order. You are not, therefore, “behind” :-)

Is it guaranteed that Finalize will be called in the reverse order of Initialize? If multiple objects were created in the same scope, would the Assert be guaranteed to always pass?

– Also, since these are Weekly Gems, would it be possible to show an associated date with each one? That way I’d know how far behind I am (apparently, at least 5 weeks).
