Keywords: Compiler, NeXT, Ada Message-ID: <375@ajpo.sei.cmu.edu> Date: 17 Oct 88 10:37:26 GMT List-Id: 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. -- Ed Berard (301) 695-6960
