This is an issue for us open source people, the idea of a new compiler has
been discussed here before. Randy has stated people shouldn't bother, but I
disagree as there are reasons to have another one. One reason being that if
there isn't an alternative there will be one company monopolising the
future of the language and there will be no further work to expand the
language into new areas and will continue to stay in aerospace.

If this happens, a new language derived from Ada would need to happen and
fast. Again, this has been discussed, see the thread started by David
Botton about the getadanow logo competition.
