What does “Frontline Support” mean to you?
Frontline Support means getting tool and language issues resolved promptly and letting the customer get on with their job. It means allowing the customer focus their skills on making their application a success, rather than getting blocked on problems or questions regarding the toolset.
What drew you to Ada?
I love the confidence I can have in software I’ve written in Ada. I know that the type system has ensured that I’ve actually said what I think I’ve said.
What’s your favorite feature of GNAT Pro Technology
One of my favorite features is style checking. Automatically ensuring every author writes code that conforms to a set of guidelines is very useful. Especially when I don’t necessarily have a completely consistent style myself!
