In the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, NASA and
DOD have not required ADA, but have been notably impressed with those
folks who DO use it. In contrast, a co-worker just finished a
project with Goddard that had all software written in QuickBASIC!
Has anyone seen a PD/Shareware/Cheap ADA compiler for learning
purposes? As any commercial package must be DOD approved or
whatever, they tend to be *pricey*, but a learning version (a la)
TurboADA or QuickADA) could be fairly cheap and cost effective for
learning the language. Janus/ADA is $129 but I'm looking even cheaper.
