The important question is not even 'does the GNAT experience
bring people to Ada', but 'how many people does GNAT bring to Ada
vs how many might have been attracted by a different way (eg
carefully researched and directed advertising, bindings, etc)'
of spending a similar amount of money. ie, bang for the buck.
We need not hundreds of folks converted to Ada, but tens of
thousands.

Effectiveness of advertising is considerably more difficult to measure than just about anything pertaining to compilers. A reasonable approach is to avoid putting all of one's eggs into one basket. The US government has capabilities to do one thing with vigor -- throw money at a problem. GNAT would seem to be an ideal candidate for that sort of approach (much better than advertising, since you get something concrete out of it). But the US (or any other) government has no capability for passion. Those killer WEB pages, that idea for a better mechanism for SUN's HTML interface, etc. are equally valid mechanisms, and thankfully do not require government funding. Likewise, articles in Embedded Systems Daily would be hopeless if they required some government sign-off before being published. Of course I don't think Ada has a chance unless it gets an advertising budget equal to that which originally fielded the most rapidly growing computer phenomenon - WWW :-).

First, I think that you lengthy post is laced with the same ignorance we see from other "real-world" businessmen, namely that a "free" compiler obviously isn't worth it's salt, and is unfairly taking business away from the commercial markets. There is an enormously thriving business with the gcc compiler (yes, even being used in some of those "life critical" apps, etc.), _because_ it is a good compiler. How many businesses went under because of gcc? (None that I recall) How damaged is the C/C++ compiler market because of gcc? I haven't noticed any problems. GNAT, thank God, has raised the standard of quality for Ada compilers. I'm not saying GNAT is _better_ than any compiler on the market today, but that we have some "breathing room". As for complaints...well, I DEFINITELY see more complaints about GNAT on here than any other compiler. And as for the "If the compiler is broken, only tell me, but if it works great, we'd like you to be a free spokesperson for our company", I'll pass. If I like a product, I'll say it, if I don't like a product, and it's worth mentioning on comp.lang.ada, I'll mention that too. If you think commercial Ada products take a blistering here, I'm telling you right now this is child's play compared to some of the stuff flying on comp.lang.c++. Public criticism (or praise) should not be silenced. If it's an unfair critique, kindly correct the poster. For instance, it's quite possible I misinterpreted some of your comments -- it was a lengthy post and I might have missed some context. If that's the case, publicly correct me (and if I have, let me apologize right now. We are both in the _business_ of promoting Ada, so my intent isn't to drastically piss you off :-) Finally, let me say that I have watched the presence of GNAT dramatically increase exploration of Ada within the last year. I can't begin to tell you the _thousands_ of "fingers" I've had over the last year (hmm, I guess I just did :-). Many of those people have picked up GNAT and were able to explore Ada without the slightest financial committment. And, yes, they knew they were getting what they were paying for :-) Also, GNAT has given me leverage personally to address the issue of compiler cost overall. I am currently faced with a bill exceeding $200K from one of the "major" compiler vendors. Because a computer company has committed to the GNAT compiler, I'm able to use that as leverage to reduce the overall unit price of my current vendor. Will that put them out of business? Definitely not. Is this an example of how a "free" government-funded compiler is hurting the Ada business? It depends on how you look at it. I don't think so. One of the amazing things GNAT has done is made Ada "just another programming language". That is totally counter to how we positioned Ada in the 80's. Frankly, I like what GNAT is doing to the business. Yes, you as an Ada business will have to either adapt or leave. I don't see anything wrong with that, I already know of two "non-Ada" companies that are seriously considering _entering_ the market now because of what GNAT has done. I continue to see GNAT as a postive force in our community. -- Frustrated with C, C++, Pascal, Fortran? Ada95 _might_ be for you!

I don't particularly see why you would think that gcc/g++ should put a damper on the market place. They are just one of many competitive products. Cygnus aims at a fairly high point in the market, providing a good product at a price that is reasonable for what you get, but certainly not in the $50/$100 range (a typical price for Cygnus support per seat is $2500/year) So Cygnus gets a share of the market, and so do many others. What gcc and g++ certainly HAVE done, is to increase the use and acceptance of C in universities, and that of course is the key to use. In the case of Ada 95, I think by 1996 you will see some pretty lively competition. By then GNAT will have some nice environments wrapped around it on the PC and Mac, and the Intermetrics educational compiler will also appear, presumably at a low, accessible price. Educational users will hopefully be able to sit back and take advantage of this competition. I don't know if others will enter this low price arena, but two is not a bad value to stimulate some technical competition! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

And, far from complaining about the availability of a free compiler, commercial companies seem to find availability of gcc to be an advantage. Certainly the contribution list to gcc spans not just companies like Cygnus that live off free software, but also "pure" commercial companies like IBM, Intel, amongst others. The argument of capitalism vs. socialism made by the original poster reminds me of the tactics of comparing to Hitler and Nazism. A variant of condemnation by guilt of association. Since your actions don't agree with my notion of capitalism you must be--horrors--a communist. >In the case of Ada 95, I think by 1996 you will see some pretty lively >competition.

I >don't know if others will enter this low price arena, but two is not >a bad value to stimulate some technical competition! > But what will be the advantage of Ada that will make users sit up and take notice? C was not automatically embraced by all the commercial companies when it became available, despite all the claims that it was so much better than using assembler. C succeeded because Unix and Borland slowly converted a lot of programmers, one at a time, to using it. C++ is seen as a better C and so there's less resistance to switching to it. How do you convince people that Ada is better than C? Or even, that it is so much better that it is worth the pain of converting? Even though it is very fashionable to decry the current state of software and how awful the bugs are, it is a huge and profitable industry and is very successful. It will not be enough just to say that things stink and Ada is so much better. Why is Ada so much better? I've only recently started looking at Ada (only because of the availability of a free compiler, so that speaks well of GNAT, I think), and have not yet seen why it's such a big difference. That's not to say that C isn't full of flaws (it is), or that C++ is so great (I'm not convinced of that), or that PL/I was awful. It is not surprising that with Java, the Sun folks are also releasing HotJava and a host of other applications. They know that to make Java successful they must make it a "neat" language to switch to, and convince people that since there are so many goodies available, it must be possible to program in it. Otherwise, only compiler weenies/language groupies pay attention. rajat ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

In the current craze of cost-cutting, capitalistic, corporate America it can be awfully hard to buy a simple thing like a compiler. I said this a month back, but I'll repeat it in this context. I'm not a programmer, I just do some programming to enhance my 'real job' productivity. I can no longer justify the purchase of a compiler not supplied by the company. I have two relevant platforms to think about, AIX/6000 and OS/2. The only company supplied compiler I can get is C++. Even if I were a programmer, I would probably need to use an 'approved' programming language, probably C++ in these days. In this environment, If I want to stick with Wirth-style languages or something in that flavor (Ada) I've got to shop the free circuits. For Ada, my only choice is GNAT. As a matter of fact, GNU Pascal may be the only other choice besides C/C++, and I suspect it's so far out of vogue by now that it hasn't been ported to both AIX/6000 and OS/2. C/C++ has swept the industry so pervasively that I suspect there won't be a big compiler market anywhere else for some time. For now, programming languages like Ada or Wirth-family are relegated to 'secret weapon' status, for software houses that want to bring out less buggy, more maintainable software and aren't afraid to buck trends to do it.

In Europe generally, and in France specifically, the language used on visible projects more than Ada or C++ combined is Eiffel. But the IBM view of the world is to ignore others until they can't. In fact, IBM was never really on the C++ or Unix bandwagon until it became obvious that the what the US market wanted. Hence IBM tends to be a follower (OS/2 was invented by MickeySoft, and AIX has tons of stuff in it identical to any Linux freeware Unix, such as dopey screen savers) rather than a leader. > ...
