A peculiar statement :-)

Averstar (Intermetrics) was the runner up in the competition
to define Ada (see the many interesting ideas in the Red
language). They were a major player in both the Ada market and
in the validation effort early on. I will leave it to the
Averstar people to comment on the claim that their main
corporate focus is still on their compilers (that seems quite
wrong to me).

Ada Core Technologies, although new as a company, is hardly new
to the Ada game.

A central core of the company has been working on Ada since
the early 80's (several of the people working for Ada Core
Tecnologies were involved in the 1983 first Ada validation,
and we have validation certificate number 001 hanging on the
wall).

Anyway, the issue is not so much whether a company is focussed
on compilers, but rather whether they are focussed on Ada. At
Ada Core Technologies, our attention is focussed more and more
on tools, rather than the compiler itself, but still very much
focussed on Ada.
