Actually I think you can replace "first" by "only" in the above
and all statements are still correct.

Surprisingly (at least to me) GNAT is still the only compiler
that implements the full Ada 95 standard including all annexes.
And as far as I know it is the only compiler for Linux.

I would be quite happy for either of these statements to be
no longer true!
