I looked through ports repository in FreeBSD and didnt' find any except Ada related like adasockets or bindings to GTK. If no why don't you guys who have tons of experience in Ada do some OpenSource stuff to promote Ada ? I am new to Ada but see how advantegeous it is to development. And kinda missing why isn't it popular among people. Maybe it needs positive examples like I mentioned ? It probably can cut efforts and tremendously increase stability on "C++" projects like GnuCash or KDE or whatever else. So maybe instead of talking about advantes it's better to build some positive example ? Yuri.
