Some will say that GNAT may be the worst thing--because vendors, unable to
compete with "free" will drop out. I disagree. I suspect that "winning
converts" to Ada will help the vendors even if "competition" from GNAT
undercuts them. The reason is that many companies don't trust "free-ware"
and may buy commercial products once someone or something convinces them Ada
is not a joke.
