Well, but isn't this the speciallity of Ada? Always talk, but never do? If 
you ask for Ada for xy you get replies like: "Build it from the sources", 
"Use a Ada to C", "Pay for development, then you will get" ... (bla bla)

And  if you state that you work (e.g.) with C because there is no Ada 
compiler for your environmemt, then you get only replies "you are very 
stupid *not* to use Ada ..." (ha ha).

Ada community seems full of advocats, but technicians are missing. 

Those wise guys always stating that you have to read thousands of documents 
and working years on things you are not interessted in, then build your own 
toolchains, are responsible for decreasing Ada-use.
