Maybe it would be a VM & API too much ? IMHO Ada's strength
is to have a wide portability while being able to compile
to optimised native code. A bit of chameleon-ism. You want
also a portable compiled code ? JVM is there. You want
efficient numerics (e.g.) ? You recompile for the target
processor & OS. I just recompiled a big simulation program
developed on a Compaq server (Alpha/OpenVMS/DEC Ada) on my
laptop (PC/Win98/GNAT). Just 1 mistake DEC Ada did not see
and 1 Ada83 -> Ada95 incompatibility to correct, and it runs.
That flexibility is the big advantage for me. A dedicated VM
would - maybe - be contra-productive in that sense. Again, IMHO...
