On Thursday, October 13, 1988, I attended a session for potential
third-party software developers for the NeXT machine. I won't go into
a description of the machine, since there has already been a good deal
of press (and hype). By most accounts, the machine is impressive.
While the NeXT system comes with (Franz) LISP, C, and Objective-C,
there are currently no plans for an Ada compiler -- unless one is
proposed by a third party. I did not see any representatives of any
Ada compiler vendors at the meeting. (They may have been there. I am
not omnipotent.)
I would encourage any interested Ada compiler vendors to contact John
Ison, the Manager of Application Software Marketing, at NeXT, Inc.,
3475 Deer Creek Road, Palo Alto, California 94304, phone: (415)
424-0200, fax: (415) 424-0476.
Given Steve Jobs's commitment to higher education, I can only assume
that the Software Engineering Institute is already investigating the
NeXT machine.
