Robert Eachus says

"   A half million dollars to port a compiler is in the noise, but what
isn't in the noise is the time required.  If the compiler isn't ready
on time, you have all those programmers twiddling their thumbs."


Sure, but the absolute time to achieve a port with GNAT is also very
much reduced compared to previous technology.
