The first REASONABLE compiler I remember was in around late 1984 or
early 1985 on a Data General machine. I never personally used it, but
I do remember people complaining that the environment was, uh, ARCANE.
The world has changed much since then, and for the better. Now if
only they can get the PRICES down for 'full-up' Ada compilers,
particularly for PC-class machines and under UNIX/POSIX. Perhaps that
would finally make it take off.
