Stoik exaggerates the number of Ada compilers slightly...

At the moment there are no Ada (2012) compilers available on the market.
GNAT is marketed as an Ada 2012 compiler, but they haven't managed to
get their handling of synchronized interfaces (from Ada 2005) working
yet, so I think calling it an Ada compiler is cheating.  Calling it an
Ada 95 compiler is fair though.

As there is no ACATS for Ada (2012) or Ada 2005, it is difficult for us
customers to be sure of the state of the compilers we have to choose
between.

My three big wishes for Ada are that:

1) ACATS is updated to match the current Ada standard.
2) Any new standard is published _with_ a matching edition of ACATS.
3) The ARG establishes a process for expanding ACATS with user-provided examples.

Greetings,

Jacob
