" _Any_ platform? You mean I could fire it up on my little 68020-powered
Mac with its expansive 4MB of memory and galactic 80MB hard drive and
enjoy the full benefits of Ada's rich set of features? Or is there a
cost to having a language that does everything, an environment that does
everything, and a compiler that does everything?"
No, you cannot run Ada on arbitrary obsolete machines, but you certainly
can run Ada on typical current Mac's and PC's. You actually aren't too
far away from being able to run Ada on your machine. Buy a bit more
memory and an external drive, and there is a 68K version of Mac/Ada
