Amiga Ada compilers?

[jnordness]

I have found a few Ada83 compilers for the amiga, but no Ada95 ones. Was one ever made? Does anyone even know what I am talking about? Maybe someone who worked for the DOD knows!  :-P

Thanks, I'll look into GNAT. I know it's not commonly used nowadays, but I'm an Aerospace Engineering major, and there are still lots of things that use Ada in the aerospace industry. The Arian-5 rocket and some subsystems on the new 777 come to mind. I'm still new to programming, but so far I like Ada more than C++, even though the latter is WAY more commonly used. Do you really think Ada is that bad Tigger?

Thanks for your point of view Tigger. I do understand that Ada usage is giving way to C++ (C#?), but it still has a small user base with limited applications. (Kind of like a certian computer system I know of...  :-D ) I don't think it will hurt to learn both C++ and Ada, but I should concentrate on C++. I was talking to one of the software guys from Ball Aerospace (they built the New Horizons spacecraft thats on its way to Pluto) at a job fair and he said they are split 50/50 between C++ and Ada. Not to mention, they just came out with the Ada 2005 specs. In conclusion, I still believe that in my field, at least a passing knowledge of Ada will bear fruit. BTW, I agree, its not just amazing that an aircraft that was built in the 50's is still around, but has projected usage until around the 2050's!!!!
