It is good to hear Ludovic, but a system that has been in existence for
20+ years are not likely to be using _a lot_ of Ada 2005 features, yes?

And if that is the case, then Maciej's point still stand: There are
currently no Ada compilers that fully support Ada 2005.

And even so we already have Ada 2012 in the pipeline, introducing even
more features. Who knows when we'll have a fully Ada 2005 compliant
compiler!  :D

I still plan on sticking with Ada. It fits my needs and I've already
come to rely on its uncanny ability to help me transform my ideas into
actual working code. Also AWS is simply too awesome to pass up for a
web-monkey like me.

:o)
