Hi Everyone

My name is Patrick, I have been posting here for years, just from different profiles.

We all know that Ada has declined since the 1980s but if you don't care what flavour of coolaid the other kids are drinking does it matter... gnat is maintained as of today.

However, let's just say the GCC project dropped support, aliens abducted all of the Adacore staff and you did not feel you would be able to patch GCC yourself, how long would you use an old GCC version that had Ada support?

I ask this because my son is 15 and my daughter is 11 and I am wondering about a project for them that would need to be viable for a long time.

Thanks for reading-Pat
