Well I'll come as clean as I can on the issue of cost. We *do* care how
much a compiler costs and we *don't* want to be some vendor's cash cow.
We, as much as anybody else, want to save money and do the job in as
cost effective a manner as possible. We get squeezed by budgetary
constraints as much as the next guy.

That being said, if suddenly there were only one Ada vendor on the
planet and they, like all good businessmen, set their prices to get
MC=MR and started jumping the price up to significantly higher levels,
we'd probably have to take a look at the investment we already have in
home-grown and off-the-shelf tools & infrastructure and decide if it
made sense to scrap the language or allow ourselves to be milked. Given
the size of what we do and our investment in infrastructure, the price
tag could go up and we'd find it to our advantage to pay. Fortunately,
there *is* competition and even if not, there *are* alternatives. We're
pretty smart around here when it comes to software and we could find a
way of vertically integrating if we were under threat.

Keep in mind that Ada compilers for most platforms are not that
expensive. Many of them can be purchased by your garden variety engineer
for home use without first getting permission from the spousal unit.
More fully featured systems are still within the reach of a well paid
engineer who saves his money and is enough of a geek to blow it on a
compiler instead of a vacation. And once we start talking about
*embedded* systems, the price tag of *all* compilers goes up
significantly for some pretty obvious reasons: You need really good
quality code out of them and you need lots of support tools to get the
code into the embedded box. The more stuff a vendor gives you, the more
they expect to receive on payday.

As for paying lots of money for a support contract, I think that is more
a function of what sort of support you need for the job you are doing.
I'm sure that if I had to go to a vendor of *any* language and ask for
the kinds of modifications, extensions, bug fixing and hand-holding that
is typical of hard real time development, they'd want a bunch of money
too. OTOH, I've purchased compilers with zero support beyond a couple of
installation related phone calls (any vendor had better give you this
much) and been quite happy with the results. It depends what you expect
to do with the compiler.

Also, a thing you want to consider with hard real time, safety critical
applications is that at some point rather early on in the life of the
project, you no longer need *any* support from the vendor because you
are going to freeze the version of the compiler and live with it the way
it is. Usually this is also a point in the project where you no longer
need to call the vendor and ask "How do I make your compiler do XYZ????"
so if the vendor wants to milk you, they've got to do it in the early
stages.
