In the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, NASA and
DOD have not required ADA, but have been notably impressed with those
folks who DO use it.  In contrast, a co-worker just finished a 
project with Goddard that had all software written in QuickBASIC!

Has anyone seen a PD/Shareware/Cheap ADA compiler for learning
purposes?  As any commercial package must be DOD approved or
whatever, they tend to be *pricey*, but a learning version (a la)
TurboADA or QuickADA) could be fairly cheap and cost effective for
learning the language.  Janus/ADA is $129 but I'm looking even cheaper.
