Comment · 7 years ago
I probably haven't read anything that won a "normal" prize. At least not in the decades after school.

I've read a few old books who won Science Fiction prizes like the Hugo Award. But today even these are a bit too political.

There are so many standardized languages out there that have many implementations. Some commercial and some free.

Are there other free Ada compilers out there or is the language too complex for simple enthusiasts to implement a compiler themselves?

Ada isn't owned by one company.

Our political systems in the free world are very resistant to change. A party can be founded to further an important topic but people demand that they have a broader program and address all kinds of topics.

And then you end up with another copy of some party.
