C. Well, since you asked... I know this might be over the line in terms of netiquette, but, hey, I don't get this kind of a leading question all that often. :) Hopefully some of our users will post comments directly so you won't be subjected to my biased viewpoint. -- Dave Wood -- Product Manager, ObjectAda for Windows Some Comments from Our Beta Sites Your ObjectAda is "HOT!" Once the commercial industry figures out Ada 95's power ... watch out Microsoft, C++ will be the un-safe language of choice. I've run 250,000 lines of tricky code through it with no problem - ObjectAda is light-years ahead of any previous Ada compiler. Finally someone is taking the necessary steps to make Ada (and associated development environments) more mainstream. Finally a product for Ada which can compete with something like Visual C++! The compiler seems very robust; several tricky bugs reported in GNAT work correctly with ObjectAda. ObjectAda's slick IDE is the best Ada system I've seen. Glad to see you're committed to Ada and are supporting the Windows platform. I'm satisfied with the product and see a lot of potential in it. Very good. The look and feel are logical. The integrated help that was available was laid out very well. Without a doubt I will be looking forward to using ObjectAda in the near future. Over-all this beta looks and feels comfortable with all my other Windows programs - it makes me feel right at home. I am very impressed with the product, especially the environment, which makes it easy to produce code and import packages used in other projects... keep up the good work. Looks like a very nice product. Good effort to create a complete and powerful Ada compiler for the PC market. Keep up the good work.
