- Yes Ada is special (1995 ISO standard here = Ada 95). Thanks to DoD
- (AJPO) these standards (and other really interesting documents, Ada
- Quality & Style comes to mind) are freely available. Something new
- with Ada 95 is that you have access to a high quality compiler based
- on the gcc back-end, namely GNAT (Ada Core Technologies continues the
- work on the compiler and offers commercial support).
-
- With also a lot of dedicated web pages (tutorials, X programming,
- CGI programming ...) Ada seems really "free" now.
-
- To answer your question, no you can't get for free C standards, and
- without gcc you've to pay for your C compiler.
