- nicce 2y agoUsing Ada efficiently just requires too much $$$ for small projects.
- MaxBarraclough 2y agoWe're talking about developing safety-critical software. C and Ada have their pros and cons, but Zig isn't even in the running.
- lenkite 2y agoHow does one make an REST Service using Ada without paying for frameworks/tools?
- MaxBarraclough 2y agoNo doubt you could implement a modern web API in Ada, but you wouldn't really be playing to Ada's strengths. Ada is more commonly associated with safety-critical embedded work than with web development. Ada Web Server (AWS) [0][1] is Free and Open Source software, but that framework doesn't seem to get much use, and it doesn't inspire confidence that [0] mentions SOAP but doesn't mention JSON. I'm not aware of any proprietary/payware Ada web server solutions.
