$$$$ is not a real problem, either, at least in countries which have a
high per-job overhead. 8-)

The problem is that below a certain number of developers, you can't
get support for GNAT from AdaCore.  The other companies around GCC
aren't able to offer support, either.  I don't know how much it costs
to get one of your developers involved in GNAT development.  It would
probably take a couple of months, something you might not be able to
afford.

I still think Ada is a fine language, and GNAT is a great compiler,
but right now, circumstances seem to restrict me to x86 on Linux,
probably uniprocessor only.  This makes me feel uneasy.
