- johnisgood 6y agoI still do not understand. Ada is not exactly new. Have you ever seriously considered Ada/SPARK? Might want to give https://www.adacore.com/uploads/books/pdf/AdaCore-Tech-Cyber-Security-web.pdf https://www.adacore.com/uploads/books/pdf/AdaCore-Tech-Cyber... a read, or even https://blog.adacore.com/ https://blog.adacore.com/, or my previous comments on Ada. I called Ada the programming language for writing "fast secure code" for quite a long time now, a "better C" in that regard.
- adamnemecek 6y agoAda just doesn't have the steam behind it.
- johnisgood 6y agoIt certainly lacks the hype, and judging by the comments on here, many people still have loads and loads of misconceptions of the language, negative ones, unlike say Rust's "unsafe code does not affect the rest of the program", for example, which I would call a positive misconception. And of course thus, it also lacks libraries. This is really my biggest problem with it. :/
- 59nadir 6y agoRust isn't nearly popular enough to be referred to as "the new normal" in any field or context. One would have to be in a very closed off bubble to think it is. If they haven't made some big strides with having it certified for use there are entire industries where you can't even use it and get certification, if I understand correctly.
