Thats a very high level of support and one would expect to pay a lot for it.
My question is: "Assuming a C/C++ vendor is providing the same level of
support, what do *they* charge for it?" Chances are, it would be similar in
price, so faulting ACT or Ada for a really steep price tag on this isn't
fair.
A good question is: "Can you find a lower level of support if you don't need
near instantanious bug fixes?" To answer that, you'd need to look at other
vendors of Ada compilers (there are a number out there...) to see what they
provide and at what price. Without knowing, I'd guess that it would again be
a similar price tag as compared to other languages. Ada isn't going to be
any more expensive to support than any other language.
