Ada

Ada! sole daughter of my house and heart. 
--> Lord Byron

The Analytical Engine weaves Algebraical patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.

VERSION - UPDATE:  Mac GWAda 1.4.2   v. 1.5.4 (12-06-95)
(68k  + fat bin.) 
                                
README:
"GW-Ada/Ed-Mac is a development environment built around the New York University (NYU) AdaEd compiler/interpreter. It allows the editing, compiling, binding and execution of Ada 83 programs. GW-Ada/Ed-Mac was supervised by Prof. Michael B. Feldman. Manuel A. Perez, a GWU doctoral student in Computer Science, is responsible for the Macintosh version, including the editor and developer shell. 
The latest releases (post 1.1) are due mostly to Fabrizio Oddone, a known shareware developer in Italy. Fabrizio re-compiled the compiler/binder components using MetroWerks CodeWarrior 6.1, and implemented several source optimizations: compilation is speeded up by a factor of anywhere from 8 to greater than 20. Further, Fabrizio's work includes a version that will run on PowerMacs (including the new ones with 603 and 604 processors, according to Metrowerks' docs) in native instead of emulation mode, and a version for machines with a 68000 processor running System 7, too. Lastly, Fabrizio let the compilers reduce their memory footprint by cleverly using either their own application memory or temporary memory.
This version incorporates some bug fixes made by Charles Lindsey."

VERSION - UPDATE: 1.0b2  (09-24-90)

README: 
"This is a compiler/interpreter for a part of the Ada language, namely the "Pascal subset" plus the Ada tasking support. It is not intended ever to be a full Ada compiler, rather a vehicle for teaching, learning, and experimenting with concurrent programming. The compiler is very fast, producing P-code which is then interpreted by the interpreter. The interpreter is sometimes frustratingly slow; we've done no optimization at all yet."
