They both have certainly undergone bit-rot since then, to the poin= t of needing serious overhaul to once again work with the wavefront of GNAT= development. So bringing them up is a non sequitur, for not only the reas= on of being defunct, but also they (unwisely) run on the JVM & CLR virtual = machines instead of invoke the SDKs via processor-native machine-code (as, = say, C++/WinRT does for .NET via WRL-to-ATL-to-COM and Xamarin.Android does= for Java via the JNI). So neither JGNAT nor A# are pursuant to this threa= d's sought-after goal of invoking SDKs in VMs via processor-native machine-= code compiled from Ada or C++.
