I know we had conversations about "desktop" and got some "server only" answer but that didn't really answer the what is/is not since there has to be some kind of console/terminal even for a server.

Interesting.

I wonder if people are more interested in running old Ada 83 code,
in which case I wonder if it's viable to port DEC Ada across, or
if they need Ada 95 and above, in which case they need GNAT or
another Ada 95 and above compiler.
