I have never heard that story but remember that the original Ada language
standard was approved in 1983 with the initial request for language
proposals dating back into the 70's. So you are looking at a prototype
compiler on at best an early VAX. :)
Things have come a long way since then. Just look at the Linux vs
Ultrasparc C++ numbers posted on the list. :)
