I have visited your site which needs some love to be more up-to-date,
but let me say that even for writing open-source application(s), I'd be
ready to pay reasonable price for native Ada compiler available for
64-bit Linux with some sort of GUI bindings - e.g. wx so one can write
multi-platform apps.

In regard to the point from another message, I believe there is market
for Ada & SW engineers. Take a look at FPC/Lazarus or check how many
contributors are there for e.g. Julia language which is pretty young. No
need to speak about Python which atrracts many engineering people. Iow,
it's not that everyone is into system programming and I'm sure David's
push of Ada into application's space market is justifying.


Sincerely,
Gour
