I personally can't keep it straight. If a small company wanted to create an instrument with Ada embedded on let's say an ARM based circuit board, there is just so much non-sense to deal with in the Ada world and it's just so much easier with C++. Adacore is our leader in the free software world and they are leading us into the abyss . We really need another compiler. One that is doesn't play license games and that is designed to solve the problem Ada was created for, embedded parallel hardware use. I am not sure if I can do this but I will fork the older GMGPL code to create it, if I can. It will be small and simple, like the TinyC compiler vs GCC
