The open source software community is a powerful force for providing useful capabilities that might not otherwise appear (either because vendors simply do not have the resources, or there are no paying customers in sight). We at ACT are delighted to see this kind of development. The Linux community is one of particularly lively vitality, and it is a bit surprising to me that there is only one Ada 95 compiler for Linux (GNAT). Still if there is going to be only one, it is certainly appropriate that it be part of the GNU tradition and tools that made Linux possible. What is quite encouraging to us is to see that, in addition to the open source software community showing some interest and enthusiasm for GNAT, the Linux version of GNAT is also being quite successful commercially. We have a number of customers paying for commercial support in situations where they are using Linux for serious projects. GNU + Linux + GNAT A *very* attractive combination for a wide range of programming :-) Robert Dewar Ada Core Technologies -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
