That is not an answer. I am using nothing from that site, except for
GtkAda. The company I am working in also uses nothing.

If you have concrete things in mind, I am sure people here will be glad to
point you closed source friendly alternatives.

-----------------
One of Ada problems that people simply do not ask or else ask for kind of
cosmic-sized things, unbelievable for a small start-up. Presently, I'd
claim, Ada lacks nothing substantial at the library side. Few missing
things, you mentioned XML parser (why anybody would need an atomic hand
grenade?), could be done in a weak or so with existing tools.
