"I think that the original poster is saying that Ada and Fortran share a common problem: some non-open-source compilers are not seeing the investment this decade that that they saw in prior decades, due in turn to lower revenues." (Miller)

Yes, and the conclusion would be: get used to--and use--open source, and make money some other way.

But, there seems to be an important difference between the two open source communities: GNAT is quickly maintained w.r.t. to the language revision, whereas GFORTRAN is not (as reported above).
