I really wanted to use Ada, at least learn it. Concepts are nice but I gave up when started looking into unicode support. It was wild, a bit discouraging. Or has the situation changed? What’s the unicode status in Ada?
- docandrew 2y agoYou can embed and work with UTF-8 strings with no issue (I have source with emoji string literals), but if you need complex manipulation of code points vs glyphs etc. I’m not sure how robust the libraries are for what you are trying to do. https://ada-lang.io/docs/learn/how-tos/gnat_and_utf_8/ https://ada-lang.io/docs/learn/how-tos/gnat_and_utf_8/
