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.
