Ada programming language - for curiosity

A Ada programming language playground and notes

https://ada-lang.io/ && https://github.com/ada-lang-io/ada-lang-io

Notes :

• it has a package manager named alire
• A programming language for readable, correct, and performant software.
• I did not like the cli, build system and toolchain. Bad DX.
• Ada continues to be developed. Ada has multiple released standards Ada 83, Ada 95, Ada 2005, Ada 2012, and Ada 2022.
• I can do Game dev or embedded systems
• Ada provides low-level control and interfacing to C to develop programs which can run on embedded
• Ranges start at 1

Goals:

• Express intent with explicitness, describe properties with predicates and pre/post conditions, and import C/C++ functions or intrinsics.

Instructions

Requirements: Docker or Alire >= 2.0.0

With Docker

clone my repository

git clone [email protected]:Neal-C/hello-ada.git
cd hello-ada

build and run with Docker

docker build -t neal-c-ada:latest .
docker run --name neal-c-ada neal-c-ada:latest

With ada installed locally

See docs: https://ada-lang.io/docs/learn/getting-started/installation

and install ada locally on your machine

but you'll also probably need GNAT or GCC. Good luck trying to run that locally

git clone [email protected]:Neal-C/hello-ada.git
cd hello-ada
