Ask HN: Anyone using Ada/Eiffel/ParaSail?
Every month, I am challenge myself to learn a new programming language and building a toy. This month I was trying to do Ada. I installed GNAT but it kept breaking on me; someone recommended I go for SPARK? Is there a standard way to use Ada? How do you use it?
- Hasknewbie 8y agoThe only way I know is: read "Programming in Ada 2012" by John Barnes: https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Ada-2012-John-Barnes/dp/110742481X https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Ada-2012-John-Barnes/dp/1... 900+ pages of Good Luck With That. All other resources I've seen regarding Ada are really scattered around, so this book is the one go-to reference. (Also, SPARK is a more demanding subset of Ada, so maybe wait until you have come to grip with the language before breaching that topic.)
