Why? What's stopping you from developing where you want and using SCP/FTP/rsync/= whatever to transfer files to FreeBSD VM and compiling as needed? I'm guessing it's not "would have" but rather "in order to avoid this trans= fer step which may have to be performed many times in a try-check-correct d= ev cycle, it would be easier to move to FreeBSD". By the way, did you realize FreeBSD and DragonFly has the most current and = extensive Ada support of all the FOSS platforms? Developing Ada on one of = those isn't a bad thing. > Luke's observation about the general move to LLVM is also a good one > and I wonder what that is going to mean in, say, a couple of years time. pipe dream. We've been talking about this for six years already. I did so= me work on it but stopped when I realized the payoff vs work imbalance plus= the real motivation for it (which was primarily license, not tech, at the = time). Don't want for this; it's not happening. John
