No it doesn't. Where do I get my Ada IDE for Mac or Windows at a
reasonable price (<$250)? Note I say IDE---I'm not interested in some
crappy suite of separate editor, compiler, linker, debugger all of which
are driven by command-line and are a total pain in the ass to use for any
program larger than a toy.

Languages that don't provide what current programmers want and expect are
dead. You can whine all you like about how much I suck because I expect an
IDE, but I am simply telling you the way it is.
