I heard a while back that commercial Adacore licenses start around $25K
for 5 developers, way outside hobbyist range.  Even if those numbers are
wrong, it's somewhere on that scale.  You probably want to use one of
the free (GPL) versions instead.  They use the same compiler but lack
some of the add-on packages and and come with no support from the
vendor.  Some others here have already posted links about where to find
them.  They work fine.

While there are other Ada compilers as well, I think GNAT may still be
the only implementation of Ada 2012, which is more interesting than the
earlier versions IMHO.

I'd say go ahead and post here.
