There was a famous thread on this group several years ago entitled "DEC
Ada - why is it so good" which seemed to conclude that it was indeed
one of the best Ada83 environments ever made. I was insanely jealous
at the time as we had VAXes but a.n.other Ada compiler which wasn't so
good.
GNAT is the beneficiary of much of the DEC Ada experience as it passes
the entire DEC Ada test suite and also supports all the DEC Ada
pragmas and so on on the DEC platforms.
Make sure you read the GNAT documentation before coming to any
conclusions ;)
