AdaCore took over this development in 2007, and announced "GNAT for .NET", which is a fully supported .NET product with all of the features of A# and more.[2] As of 2021, A# has fallen dramatically in popularity and is considered by some to be a dead language (there are no known users or implementations).[3][unreliable source?][4]
