Really?

Is a genuine Ada 2005 compiler available from Ada Core Technologies?
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|"More on which compilers do support Ada 2005: |
| |
|"Most recently, Mr. Baird worked for IBM, which acquired Rational in |
|2003. As Senior Software Engineer, he was responsible for adapting the |
|Ada 95 “middle pass” portion of the Rational Ada compiler to implement |
|the dynamic semantics of Ada 2005." |
| |
|So IBM is also the only vendor supplying a compiler for Ada 2005 ;-) |
| |
|(Quoted from AdaCore's press center announcing "the appointment of Ada |
|expert Stephen Baird to the company’s GNAT Pro implementation team", |
|2008-09-09.)" |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I do not believe that an Ada 2005 compiler is available yet from IBM.

|Ada 2005 will be available later this year. We have a working version|
