Looks like a cornucopia of nice programming language features, including one that's in Ada that almost no other language provides: integer subset types/range types. Definitely promising.
The documentation is very jittery/laggy while scrolling on a phone though. I don't know why that's about, but it's distracting.
- anonzzzies 3y ago> integer subset types/range types You mean like Pascal or more elaborate like that?
- Avshalom 3y agoIt comes (like a lot of Ada) from Pascal I don't know what the current state of Pascal is to be able to compare but probably a bit more elaborate.
- carlmr 3y ago>including one that's in Ada that almost no other language provides: integer subset types/range types. This is one of these features that seems so simple and makes life so much easier in embedded programming where you often have exact ranges for things, and also delta types for fixed-point math.
- pjmlp 3y agoAs usual, people keep referring to Ada integer subset types/range types, when Ada was influenced by their use in Pascal and Modula-2.
