No, it is not. Tools are used to assist a programmer, user, maintainer etc
role player, in his work. As such tools are superfluous, non-functional.
Compiler is absolutely necessary. If you want an analogy, XML parser is
necessary when somebody was foolish enough to mandate use of XML.

a break!

Being standard does not make anything good. Standard is not a function.

Not prior to:
"Ada is a programming language designed to support the construction of
long-lived, highly reliable software systems."
> And with the word ”standard” comes the words ”interoperability”.
