This is then true for GNAT on MacOS X. How is this so? Currently Ada is being integrated into Apple's Project Builder for MacOS X. An Ada-aware version of gdb is being updating to work with ProjectBuilder to complete the suite of tools. A developer can use Interface Builder to develop their GUI. A user can now build and run applications written in Ada using bindings to Apple's Carbon Framework. These are fully MacOS X native applications using the Aqua graphics engine. The cost? *Free*.
