Surely it couldn't have been that hard to port the existing DEC Ada '83 front
end to IA64 and now to x64? Ok, many modern developers will want all those
fancy tagged types and stuff but there must be a few other users who could
have managed without them (though maybe add "use type", read 'out' parameters,
explicit indefinite generic parameters, etc at some point?). Alas, most Ada
development where I work has already migrated to Windows.
