Not having an "official" subset for small computers means that a) nobody uses Ada for small computers or b) at best you end up with hundreds of incompatible subsets. History has been more towards A. You can't get Ada for most small machines. Hence the guys using those sorts of small machines have no interest in Ada. I don't know that there is any good answer to this. Demanding "One and only one Ada" is a good thing in many respects, but how does one then make it possible to have Ada on a tiny computer?
