Yes, old systems still need maintanence and Ada-Systems will need that
quite long for sure. But all the young college students will jump on
Java, C++ or whatsoever because this is where the new challenges are.

Which is of course a great thing!

Is GNAT without support a alternative for small (commercial!) projects?
The number of companies who offer low cost Ada compilers (validated and
supported!) for the Unix world is quite limited, actually there aren't
any. The cheapest Ada compiler for Unix that I know is still at least 10
times more expensive than a good C/C++ compiler. Why?
