Perhaps this is due to your failure to choose a vendor carefully. There are definitely Ada compilers available with excellent support. Certainly lack of support has nothing to do with Ada, and everything to do with your choice! > The Ada language requires a more complex compiler Nope, that's simply false > which has led to far more compiler bugs than C++ If your Ada compiler has lots of bugs, again, perhaps you chose the wrong compiler! > and we find more of them because the developer base for Ada is > so much smaller than that of C++. More likely it is a basic quality problem, and that again comes down to your choice of compilers. > And the compiler is so slow! There is no reason for an Ada compiler to be slow. If your compiler is slow, again you chose the wrong one. Sounds like you need to be quite a bit more careful in your procurement decisions for Ada compilers!
