Mike White asks about writing an Ada 95 compiler from scratch for the MAC.
This is certainly a feasible project but a large one. 15-25 person years
is a reasonable estimate of the total effort required, if you count
maintenance into the future, this may be low. Yes, Ada 95 is considerably
harder to implement than Ada 83, it is a much bigger language, the new
features, and the annexes, add a LOT of effort.
A more practical effort (by more than an order of magnitude) would be
to port GNAT to the MAC, and it would be nice if someone completed this
port!
