I do wonder though, at why gcc and g++ have not put a damper on the C and C++
markets despite far greater acceptance in the commercial computing world than
Gnat. Commercial chip companies pay to get gcc and g++ ported to their
architecture and don't feel like they're paying homage to the late, great USSR.
What Ada needs is what Borland did for C a long time ago. The bar is a lot
higher now than it was back then, but what hasn't changed is the requirement
that it be cheap. The $49 price back then was almost a throwaway price, and
maybe the market would tolerate $100 price right now.
