I don't find in all that strange. Such information regarding Fortran and C++
compilers is (presumably) generally because they have just implemented some
(new/existing) feature of the language i.e. their product has "grown" in some
dimension etc Whereas, Ada has a well recognised standard, the compiler either
comforms (in which case it is released and sold) or it doesn't conform (in
which case it is not yet on the market :-)). The only thing Ada vendors can
"brag" about is either additions wrt the Annexes (which you do see as
announcements) or bug fixes (which no-one really wants to noise about anyway
:-)).
