- The closest you're going to be able to get is the AdaEd package. It's actually
- an Ada interpreter that was written to make Ada easily available to schools
- so that it can be taught. There's supposedly a GNU Ada project under way.
- However, the problem with Ada over other languages is that it has to be
- validated with the gov't validation process. This takes time and money, and is
- why most commercial Ada packages are so expensive.
-
- As far as the AdaEd package goes, I got it to compile with little difficulty.
- It doesn't run programs very fast, but it gets the job done, and that's all
- you're going to find for now.
