They're nice and I'd like to see some more advanced ones.
But, why are the programs in Python instead of Ada, if it's Project Lovelace? For Python, maybe it could be Project Monty. Heh.
- lofi_lory 6y agoOff-topic: How you english speakers pronounce 'Ada'? Like [a]ffirmative or {a}pex? '[A]da Lovelace' sounds so nice and soothing to me. It's a really beautiful name. However, just 'Ada' doesn't do anything for me, but 'Julia' does the trick there. A programmer named Ada Lovelace and a programming language named Julia... those things make for really comforting echos in my mind, I don't know why. Like coming home chilled from winter's rainfall and bathing the brain in warm vanilla sauce.
- throwaway81523 6y agoI've always heard Ada pronounced like in Apex. I like the language and find many of the complaints about it to be misplaced. I haven't tried Julia but I think its application area is completely different. I would say Ada isn't a great choice for this Lovelace project. Maybe the project should have been called Robinson instead of Lovelace, after the mathematician Julia Robinson (the R in the MRDP theorem, among other things). Then the examples could have been programmed in Julia. Or maybe even in R ;-).
