Not really. The only thing that will save ada is us creating useful ada code.

With ACT we have the best of both world. We get the compiler for free. We get
reasonable support (actually I think it is very good) through comp.lang.ada,
chat@act and the other mail list which I don't remember the name of now.

We can report errors to act. We may not get star treatment there, but I'm not
sure any other compiler vendor gives better support to their paying customers.

Greetings,
