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  ;-)      |

I do not believe that an Ada 2005 compiler is available yet from IBM.
